Imagine that Noah had decided he was going to dig water wells for the less fortunate in God's name? Suppose Abraham had determined to take his nephew, Lot, on a door-to-door out reach effort in Sodom? What if the apostle Paul led a building campaign for a new Synagogue in Jerusalem?
"What is my point?" you may be wondering. My point is that God was not waiting for them to come up with a plan of action He could bless, God had plans for which He intended their participation.
As Jesus said, "my Father is always at work" (John 5:17) - not He is looking for work or looking for things for us to do. Instead, He has preplanned, ongoing work that we are invited to join: "For we are God's handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared I advance for us to do" (Eph 2:10).
So, what is God doing in your neck of the woods? What work has The Lord set before you? Are you waiting for a personal invitation or are you ready to begin The Work? Jus' Ask'n.
