OUR JOB
Today's reading: 2 Samuel 10-14

"The following spring, the time of year when kings go to war, David sent Joab and the Israelite army to destroy the Ammonites. In the process they laid seige to the city of Rabbah. But David stayed behind." 2 Samuel 11:1 NLT

Most of us know what came next in David's life...sin, cover-up, heartache, death, turmoil, generational instability and defeat.

The results are no different when we sit back and expect, assume or delegate our responsibilities to someone else. Think it's not happening? Think again.

It is not the job of teachers and school administrators to teach respect, manners and right living to our children.

It is not the job of our pastors, deacons and Sunday School teachers to teach godly living.

It is not the job of our government to provide for and raise the lower and no income of our nation.

We've thought it has been for a while now--and look where it's gotten us.

Step up and being doing what it is God has purposed you to do. If it's your job, don't push it off on someone else--no matter how hard, involved or big the job is.
