Colossians 4:17 - ¹⁷Tell Archippus: “See to it that you complete the work you have received in the Lord.”

Very quick and simple thought/question for you as we head into the weekend.

We’ve talked before about how God has uniquely created and gifted every one of us.  He has created you with purpose for a purpose.

And we know it is to do good (Ephesians 2:10).

Yet we all get sidetracked and sometimes even derailed.  I don’t know about you, but I hesitate and I’m scared to fail….even when I don’t even know what “it” is that I’m supposed to do.

“Doing good” seems to simple and broad at times; and at others it’s just down right difficult and hard.

This isn’t anything new.  Archippus new this feeling too.  We don’t know what it was that he was supposed to do.  But he knew.  And Paul knew.  And he knew that Paul knew.

We all need someone like Paul in our lives to come along from time to time and simply and lovingly kick us in the butt.

So here it is….God has something for you to do.  Whether you know it or not, you have received work from the Lord to do.  Get to it!

See to it that you complete it.  For most of us, that probably means working until there’s no more breath in our lungs.  That’s ok.

I say, “let’s get on with it then!”

Have a fantastic weekend….
