God Blesses the Faith of Individuals

The eyes of the Lord run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to show Himself strong on behalf of those whose heart is loyal to Him.
2 Chronicles 16:9

God Blesses the Faith of Individuals
Looking around us we could easily get discouraged. Attendance at the meetings is low, few are actively involved; there is a lot to be done but few to help. But the Lord calls individuals to serve Him, maybe especially so in difficult and discouraging times. When Peter asked the Lord, "What about this man?" pointing to John, the Lord answered him by saying, Never mind him, "you follow Me."

It was an individual call and responsibility of Peter to follow the Lord, as it was for many individuals. Jonah was called to go to Nineveh; David, when going out against Goliath didn't call his three brothers, saying, "Come on guys, let's go fight the giant"; no, he went out himself. Philip met the Ethiopian when alone; Esther went in before the king; and even Noah, when called to build the ark, did so (although he must have had some help).

God took note and used faithful individuals of all ages: a young couple, not yet married, Joseph and Mary, were used by God; also a middle-aged couple, Zachariah and Elizabeth; as well as an elderly prophetess, Anna.

All of these people lived in challenging times of oppression and spiritual mediocrity, but they did not allow these circumstances to distract them from serving the Lord. Nineveh was spared; Goliath and the Philistines were defeated; a single soul, the Ethiopian, was saved; humanity was spared through the salvation of eight people. By their obedience to the call of God, their actions brought great blessing to many and honor and glory to God. May these encourage us to go on for the Lord as individuals who desire to please Him, along with others of the same heart.

Under normal circumstances, no human being desires to be a nonentity. The various forces in the world however, are responsible for many people spending their entire life amounting to nothing and dwelling in the valley of not-well-to-do persons.
