Missionary Mindset                             

The Bible says, “Servants, obey in all things your masters according to the flesh; not with eyeservice, as menpleasers; but in singleness of heart, fearing God: And whatsoever ye do, do it heartily, as to the Lord, and not unto men; Knowing that of the Lord ye shall receive the reward of the inheritance: for ye serve the Lord Christ. But he that doeth wrong shall receive for the wrong which he hath done: and there is no respect of persons.” Colossians 3:22-25 (KJV)

Desk sign at St. Louis Office Supply Company: “Don’t be indispensable. If you can’t be replaced, you can’t be promoted.”

Sometime, when you’re feeling important, Sometime, when your ego’s in bloom; Sometime, when you take it for granted You’re the best qualified man in the room; Sometime, when you feel that your going Would leave an unfillable hole, Just follow this simple instruction And see how it humbles the soul. Take a bucket and fill it with water; Put your hand in it, up to the wrist; Pull it out; and the hole that’s remaining is a measure of how you’ll be missed. You may splash all you please, when you enter, You can stir up the water galore, But stop and you’ll find in a minute That it looks quite the same as before.

The moral in this quaint example Is do just the best that you can, as unto the Lord.

This goes for our work ethic in the secular world and in our witnessing to the Lost. The main thing bis to keep the main thing the main thing! That is reaching lost souls and encouraging Believers!
