Wherever You are Now,
You have Something to Offer

I love Food Network Shows. One of my favorite last summer was about Food Trucks. In this show Sixteen food trucks circle the wide open field. They were all from different locations ...Buffalo, Toronto, New York City. Over miles and across borders these folks have brought what they have to offer. And as someone bites into a chocolate-hazelnut cupcake and smile, I know that is because they are clearly benefiting from the experience.

I like the idea of food trucks. Wherever you go, you have something to offer.

And in case you didn't know, you're kinda like a food truck.

We're all called to feed the hearts around us. Give us this day our daily bread, says the line in the Lord's prayer. What we receive isn't just for us.

And it isn't just for one particular place.

Wherever you are right now, you're bringing what God has given you to offer right along with you.

Your home.

Your office.

Your church.

Your community.

Across the world.

It's not just when we sit in a pew on Sunday. It's not just when we're in front of our keyboards writing. It's not just when we're volunteering or going out of our way to make a difference.

It's all the time, everywhere, just as you are.

I don't know what you've got inside--what your version of a food truck might be. But I can tell you this...it's going to meet a need. Because God put it there.

So roll down the road of life and see where He takes you. And when someone with a hungry heart crosses your path and God calls, fling open the doors and hold out your hands.

Then trust that whatever has been entrusted to you is what's needed in that moment. And that it's good.

Lord, help me to find someone on my road that is hungry for Your Word and give me the ingredients to feed them and give them nourishment that only You can give. Amen.
