Some of us are called to be missionaries ,ministers,deacons,yet there are many dear people who for whatever reason cannot do very much.It was Milton who said,'They also serve who only stand and wait'. We cannot all be at the battle ,but we can support those who are by prayer,the great Apostle Paul,knew the importance of prayer support, in writing to the Christians in Ephesus he wrote,'Pray also for me'.Never let us underestimate our prayers for others,they make a difference.We can serve God in many ways,think not about what you can't do,but what you can do ,be it ever so small. A widow woman give the little she had over to God,and God blessed it ,and it fed the prophet Elijah,herself and her son.( 1 Kings 17 v 7ff).A little boy handed over his lunch and Christ used it to feed thousands of people (John 6)A poor widow woman give her last bit of money, two small copper coins ,worth practically nothing into the temple treasury,and our dear Saviour commended her highly for it.(Mark 12 v 41ff).If Christ places a cup of water in your then that's all he demands (Matthew 10 v42)
'Be not concerned how others view our smallness
of gifts,or our smallness of giving,It is how Christ
views them,that's what is important.'
