“Tell them, 'The Lord has need of it.'” It isn't very often that we think of the Lord having needs. How could the Lord really need anything? we ask. Certainly, the Creator and Sustainer of the universe has no true needs, or does He? True, in one sense, for He is all-sufficient. Yet, He chooses to act through human instruments. Did the Lord really need Moses to bring forth water from the rocks, or Elijah's cry to send down fire from heaven? Yes, He truly needed them, for He has chosen to use willing men and women rather than to impose His will from on high.
The Lord needs you. He needs me. Even though our efforts appear puny, the only hand of God you are likely to see at work is at the end of some fellow human's wrist...probably, your very own...your very own hand, your voice, and your wallet. The Lord has need of you!
Prayer: Lord Jesus, forgive me for underestimating the power of Your Spirit working through me. I want to be a useful tool in Your capable hand. Help me to obey, amen.
