Do What You Can ~

The boy with the loaves and the fishes, Rebekah at the well and many others in Scripture 'did what they could.' This is all that God asks of any of us. If we bring what we have or do what we can as an act of worship to Him, it is our heart attitude that He sees and loves.
The woman at Bethany who broke her alabaster flask of spikenard oil over the Lord Jesus' head was sharply criticised by others - but He said "She has done what she could" (Mark 14:3-9)
How often we downgrade what we have to offer because it is small or because others may not understand our motives. But this lady still poured out her perfume and the widow still gave her mite, though neither act appeared to achieve anything much in themselves. By this I mean, the mite wasn't multiplied like the loaves and fishes and the lady with the spikenard was not elevated and rewarded as Rebekah was, but their attitudes are spoken of still as memorials to them.
There are two things that the writer to the Hebrews (3: 7-13) specifically tells us to do today. The first, is to keep our hearts soft and gentle towards God. If we are careful to do this, we will always hear His voice 'today'. This is the very 'bread of life', the manna from heaven, which will always be sufficient to sustain us through the day.
The second injunction is for us to encourage one another daily, so that others in the Body of Christ don't get hardened in their hearts through the deceitfulness of sin. If we do these two things faithfully, surely the Lord will say of us also, that we have done what we could, for every day, we would be facilitating the purposes of God! God the Father (Mark 9:7) said "This is my beloved Son. Hear Him!"
