The Plumbline

We each carried out our servant assignment. I planted the seed, Apollos watered the plants, but God made you grow. It’s not the one who plants or the one who waters who is at the center of this process but God, who makes things grow. Planting and watering are menial servant jobs at minimum wages. What makes them worth doing is the God we are serving. You happen to be God’s field in which we are working. (I Corinthians 3:6-9 MSG) Each of us has an assignment, given to us by God himself, meant for US to uniquely fulfill. While we may not be church planters like Paul was, or even the ones to 'water the crop' that has been planted like Apollos may have been doing, we have a task we are called to fulfill. Each day brings a new chance to fulfill that task - will we be available to serve as God directs us to serve? Remember, we 'do' what God asks us to do, but it is his Spirit who 'backs' that action on our part. We are his servants - being useful as he sees fit to us...
