I work for an amazing church who is devoted to reaching people for Christ no matter the cost. From time to time I find myself being asked the question “Can we do this?” Sometimes that means, “Can we build a 6 foot iphone by Friday?” Other times it means “Can we get 50 teens to work this Saturday?” Or my favorite “Can you preach tomorrow?”
My general response remains “Is God in this?” If I believe God wants this task to be done then I know it will get done. On the other hand, if I don’t believe God is in it, it doesn’t matter how hard I work it won’t be as great as what we wanted.
So next time you are faced with a huge task don’t ask “Can we do this?” but ask “Is God in this?”
