Mission--Go and Do It

It was more than twenty years ago that Nike created huge advertising campaigns around three words: Just do it. I have to admit, it was pure genius. The phrase doesn't say to prepare to do it--just do it. I suggest, with today's verses in mind, you just do it--share the Word of God.

We always want to wait until we have just the right thing to say . . . but that's often just an excuse. God wants us to just do it. The truth is, we probably will never feel ready to go and share the Word of God. We probably feel--if we care to admit it--afraid. Afraid we might make a mistake and turn someone off and lose an opportunity for God to work in someone's life. Afraid we'll look or sound silly.

We're often waiting for something, but God is waiting for us to act. Even if we get it all wrong, mess it up, or leave folks scratching their heads, God can clean it all up. In fact, He promises that He will, that His Word will produce fruit.
