Yesterday, we talked about the three different Operations we have taking place this weekend. Operation Black Rain. Operation Deep Water. Operation Warriors2US. Right now as I’m typing this, we have veterans out in the Atlantic Ocean. We have veterans on property at Black Rain Ordnance. And we have veterans on the White River near Gainesville, Missouri. We have volunteers at each place. Serving our veterans. And yesterday, we had a veteran run a booth at Food Truck Friday. Today, we have one running a booth at a Female Veteran Expo. Veterans serving veterans. Doing good work.
The point of yesterday’s devotion was not about the events that we are holding. The point was on doing good work. On how the Bible tells us that we combat evil by doing good work. The events mentioned are opportunities to do good work. I think God is trying to tell me something, because this morning I wake up and I read the verse of the day: Micah 6:8. It really emphasizes what we’re talking about. We are called to serve others. We are called to do good work. that’s how we combat evil. That’s how we beat Satan back. By doing good work. By following God, and learning from God, and serving others through God.
Now, it’s easy to get caught up in doing “more” as we are trying to do good. But there’s a danger with this. Doing more, does not mean we are getting more done. We can simply just be doing more and not realize it. We are only getting more done if we stay focused on God. No matter what we are doing. And if we stay focused on God, we can only do good work. So today I want to challenge you again, stay focused on God. Let God instruct you. Let God direct you. Let God correct you. Plain and simple, Let God. Do this, and I promise you, you will see fruits of your labor. God will bless your efforts. God will bless those that you serve. God will see to it that what you are doing is good. And we will defeat Satan. Actually, the victory has already been declared. So we’re not defeating Satan, we are holding him down. Pushing him back to where he belongs. Keeping him out of the picture. And that my friends…is glorious and good.
