F.A.T.

Only fear the Lord and serve him faithfully with all your heart. For consider what great things he has done for you. 1 Samuel 12:24

During the recent funeral of Billy Graham his brother Reverend Ned Graham used the acronym above for believers that we need to be faithful, available, and teachable. He did not expound on it so I will do so. 

First, faithful to be a follower of Christ. Next, available to go wherever God may send you to minister and serve. Finally, to be teachable and not think you have all the answers. Just tell yourself to be F.A.T. and see where and what God has for you. Don’t go hide like Jonah did  and get thrown overboard but be ready to answer the call. If God has a plan He finds you even if you try to hide.

Pray for courage to answer the call. Don’t equate busyness with being a great servant but rather a willing heart to do what He calls you to do. 

PRAYER: I realize answering your call does not mean packing up and moving around the world but then again it may. Help me not to be so busy that I can’t hear your voice. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
