If there’s a need that you know of in another’s life, and it’s in your power to meet that need, then it is God’s will for you to go on and do it today.
Hi, I’m Joni Eareckson Tada. A few years ago, my husband, Ken, had been praying about starting a kind of fly-fishing, bring your Golden Retriever-along men’s Bible study. It was something new, and Ken wasn’t sure if this thing was God's will or just some new idea of his. And so I told Ken, “Sweetheart, if there are guys with Labrador Retrievers and rods and reels who are hungry and thirsty for fellowship, and it is within your power to meet that need, then you knowyou’re doing the will of God.” Jesus says in John 4, “My food… is to do the will of him who sent me and to finish him work. Do you not say, ‘Four months more and then the harvest?’ I tell you, open your eyes and look at the fields! They are ripe for harvest.” Oh friend, if there’s a need that you know of in another’s life, and it’s in your power to meet that need, then it isGod’s will for you to go on and do it and do it today.
