We may sometimes feel that we are of little or no value to the Lord’s Cause. We might think of ourselves as being less talented or less useful than other Christians. The truth is, regardless of who we are, each member of the church is important and can be helpful. "But what can I do?" Consider:

Like Barnabas, exhort other saints to cleave to the Lord (Acts 11:23).

Like Abraham, instruct your offspring to serve the Lord (Genesis 18:19).

Like Daniel, be instant in prayer, even in difficult circumstances (Daniel 6:10).

Like Andrew, try and bring your family members to Jesus (John 1:40-42).

Like Onesiphorus, refresh and serve those that need special attention (2 Timothy 1:18-20).

Like Paul and Barnabas, visit the brethren (Acts 15:36).

Like the early saints in Thessalonica, demonstrate that you abound in your love for other Christians (2 Thessalonians 1:3).

You are right: you cannot do everything. You are also correct in saying that other people do a lot of things better than you do. Every one of us could make such an admission about self. Still, there are so many things that each soldier of the Christ can do. Let us be about our Father’s business.
