Will you play your part?

Have you ever seen one of those marble run videos?
You know the ones were a single ball is set into motion that then moves something else that then releases the next ball, and then so it goes on.
Eventually a flag is flown or or a cannon is fired (or something else) and the run is finished.

For it to all come together, everything needs to be set up just so, so that the run will not be stopped. Everything needs to be ready and waiting to play it’s part, and then when the time comes, it needs to do the right thing. (Have you guessed where I’m going with this yet?)

In the church (or our Father’s house) we all have a part to play.
Are we willing to play our part?
Do we want to be part of what our Heavenly Father wants to achieve?

Hopefully the answer is yes to that one.

If the answer is yes, then will you do your bit, that God is asking you to do?

In the marble run each little element on its own doesn’t look very impressive, but when it’s all put together, that’s when the magic appears.
When everything is doing what it’s meant to.

When we follow what our Heavenly Father wants us to do, then we can be like one of those small elements in the long marble run. We can be part of something that is so much bigger than ourselves.
We can be part of the magic, if we say yes to our Heavenly Father.

Sometimes we might know what we are doing and sometimes we may not. Sometimes we might know why, and other times we may not know why we are being asked to do …….. .
But if our Heavenly Father is asking us to do something (and we know that it’s Him who is asking), then will we do it?

I’m not just talking about the big things, like go to another country and be a light for those in darkness (a good call to answer if you are asked though 🙂 ).
But I’m talking about the small things.
The things where you think, that’s so small and silly, surely that’s just me being silly?

What if it’s not?
What if it’s your chance to play a small role in the larger marble run?
What if it’s your chance to be part of the magic?
Your opportunity to bless someone else in a way that would just blow your mind!

A smile or a kind word at just the right moment could change a life!

Do you want to be a life changer, someone who is willing to talk to someone, when prompted to (by your Loving Heavenly Father)?

Will you be willing to do whatever He asks you to do? It could be so small such as pray for ….. or just give so and so a call.

When we say yes to these moments, then we can be part of something that is so much bigger than just us.
We can be part of His Loving Plan to bless others.

Father,
Help me to hear Your voice that much more clearly.
Help me to say YES to You, when You prompt me to do something.
My Loving Heavenly Father.
Amen.
