A Seed From
The Sower
-Michael Guido
Blessings and Burdens
His daughter, Amy, was born disabled and could
not get from one place to another without a walker
or crutches. His wife, May, suddenly became ill and
was bedridden. It had been a difficult day at work with
more problems than solutions.
He decided, however, that he would brighten the day
of his leading lady and purchased her a lovely bouquet
of flowers. Upon entering his home, he briefly showed
the flowers to Amy and said, “I want to take these
upstairs to Mom to cheer her up.”
“Oh,” cried Amy, “please let me do that.”
“But you can’t, dear,” he said. “It’s not possible for
you to get them to Mom with your crutches.”
“I know,” she said, “but if you carry me, I’ll carry the
flowers.” And he did.
How like our Lord! From time to time we all are
crippled with concerns and cares and the obstacles
of life overwhelm us. Then, God appears at just the
right moment, and places His loving arms underneath
us and lifts us to new heights with His strength. And
in spite of the difficulties in our lives, we can take
a bouquet of blessings to others as we share the
goodness of His love and grace to those who need His
encouragement.
Prayer: Father, may we never be so focused on our
own pains and problems that we fail to bring a word
or deed of kindness to others in need. In Jesus’ Name,
Amen.
Scripture For Today: But let all who put their trust
in You be glad. Let them sing with joy forever. You
make a covering for them, that all who love Your name
may be glad in You. Psalm 5:2-12

”it seemed good to me also, having followed all
things closely for some time past, to write an orderly
account for you, most excellent Theophilus,“ - Luke
1:3
Luke’s gospel is the most comprehensive of all the
Gospels. We have details about John the Baptist’s
birth, Jesus’s birth (what we call the Christmas
story), and a story about Jesus as a boy teaching His
elders in the Temple. Luke’s Gospel also tells us
about Jesus’s interactions with the “sinners” of His
day, how He saved them and changed their lives.
It is a rich and beautiful Gospel that God placed in
the Bible to minister to millions of Christian’s over
the ages - and it was originally written for one man!
Here are three observations about Luke’s account
of Jesus’s life for Theophilus:
1) Luke compiled a detailed history of Jesus’s
life, ministry, and death - all for one man. Theophilus
was either a new believer being discipled by Luke,
or he was on Luke’s prayer list to be saved. Luke
thought Theophilus was important enough for him
to write a detailed account of the Gospel story just
for him. There are people in your life, who you
meet regularly, who need to hear the Gospel story
about Jesus.
2) Luke was by training a doctor (Paul’s
physician) but in Christ he became an evangelist.
Luke used his career as a physician, and the doors
that opened to him, to share the Gospel story about
Jesus. Every Christian is also an evangelist! We can
use our jobs and the doors they open where we are
to share about Jesus.
3) Luke had no idea how far the ripples of his
obedience would spread. He was being obedient
to the prompting of the Holy Spirit to witness to
one man - and God inspired his writing of Jesus’s
story and used it as one of the Gospels in scripture.
God used Luke’s obedience in his day and time, to
minister to millions over the ages.
What can God do with your obedience? Ephesians
3:20-21 says, “Now to him who can do far more
abundantly than all that we ask or think, according
to the power at work within us, to him be glory
in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all
generations, forever and ever. Amen!” God can use
our obedience and ways that we cannot even begin
to imagine - we just need to obey.
