Invisible at Times

Mark 11:5 & 6

Sometimes it feels like you are invisible to others doesn't it?  That's natural we all have had those kind of moments.  Face it the sooner we realize that our world "Is Not The Center Of The Universe", the better off we will be.  The 2 disciples that Jesus sent on this mission were simply following his instructions.  They were, it seems a little self conscious about what they were doing.  Not unlike ourselves at times.

From time to time we have opportunities to make a difference in our world, usually in small seemingly unimportant actions.  These disciples were to carry out their part and move on.  If you will notice we don't even know their names, no fanfare  or attention being drawn to them.  Today we would have to have a committee, sub-committee, enviromental impact study on moving the animal, animal rights advocate for making sure the animal was treated correctly, CNN to give updates and protesters bused in just for the cameras.

Instead the people there asked, as Jesus said they would, the disciples answered and the whole thing wasn't a big deal at all.  Many times God does wonderful and ordinary things without the world even noticing.  How awesome is that?  I think all of us could be used more in God's work if we, like those disciples, didn't care if our names were mentioned.  Those disciples just served the Lord, period.

Something to think about.
