Who hasn't had this feeling come across them? You just sat down from getting all your stuff done and then you get called to do for someone else. Too busy, too tired, too much for me? We can always find an excuse but aren't we called to serve others? Yes, 'serve one another in love.' Galatians 5;13. Who is the greatest example of service... Jesus. 'The Son of Man came not to be served but to serve others and to give his life as a ransom for many.' Mark 10:45
Whether we get an actual phone call of a need or just a whisper from the Holy Spirit, we should listen to that voice and act on it. If you don't do anything for others, you may just serve as a warning to others on how not to be.
The members of our body work together as a whole and so should the body of believers. Asking for help is a humbling act in itself so a gracious 'of course, I can' is the best response. Remember, the chair will be there when you return but serving opportunities may only knock once at your heart door.
