In John 5:19, Jesus said that he could do nothing on his own but only what he saw his Father doing. In other words, he was not here to "take care of business," rather, he was here to "take care of the Father's business."

And, if we are truly to be his disciples, that is precisely what we will about, "the Father's business."  I'm not really talking about seeking a singular plan God has for your life; but rather observing and participating in what God is doing around you: "...open your eyes and look at the fields!  They are ripe for harvest" (Jn 4:35).

So much time is wasted while we sit about wondering what God has in store for us and looking for something to signal what it is we are to do, when kingdom work goes unattended all around us.

Maybe God does have a specific ministry or mission in mind for you in the future.  But that does not negate your call to be involved in the kingdom work at hand.  Until we're called to something other or bigger or further away, let's open our eyes to the harvest fields in which we stand.

Until and if you hear that "still small voice" telling you what special work God has for you, why not listen to His written Word: "Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all people, especially to those who belong to the family of believers" (Gal 6:10).  Jus' Say'n.
