Scripture: “If you do away with the yoke of oppression, with the pointing finger and malicious talk, and if you spend yourselves on behalf of the hungry and satisfy the needs of the oppressed, then your light will rise in the darkness, and your night will become like the noonday.” Isaiah 58:9-10

Message: It’s a big world out there that needs changing. It’s a small world near you that needs changing, too.

You have to get the children off to school today and help evangelize the Muslim world. You have to type a letter to the gas company and feed the starving hordes in East Africa. You have to buy a new car and stop abortion. The faucet in the sink needs a new washer and the capitol in Washington needs new congressmen.

You have to get your driver’s license renewed and the church around the world renewed. You have to go to your son’s football match and go preach the gospel to the poor in Indonesia. An insurance claim needs to be filed; a claim on lost souls must also be made. You have to go to the cleaners, drive by the bank, stop at the gas station, and stop pornography.

Whether it’s the big world out there or the small world just beyond your backyard fence, God has work for you to do. It’s demanding, it has to be done, and many are depending on you, whether it’s your toddler or the child you sponsor through a relief agency, your husband or the itinerant evangelist in Uganda who travels from village to village sharing Christ.

Our world is desperate for help and hope. But take heart: Your prayers and practical action make a dent, a big dent in your small world and a small dent in the big one.

Use me, Lord, in big ways and small. Help me make a difference in Your world.
