“Let him who sole steal no longer, but rather let him labor, working with his hands what is good, that he may have something to give him who has need.”
All of my life so far, I’ve been freely supported by many individuals, rarely having to work for my food or to support myself. When I see a mess, I tend to walk by it seeing it’s not my responsibility. When I need money, I ask for some from my parents. When I’m hungry I think about when diner is going to be prepared for me. Now I understand that I’m in a place right now where I need to be supported because I’m busy and don’t have time to take a job, but this is not going to be my lifestyle all the time. I’m going to need to start working after Ignite, preparing for my future family, career, and ministry. Even no I can lift up my supporters by cleaning things I don’t have to clean, fasting form things I don’t need, and being more efficient with my time here at the ranch.
Application: Later, when in El Salvador, I need to picture myself no longer as just a student, but I’m a fellow adult minister of the gospel. As a minister, I should have the mind set of Christ that I’m here to serve and to not expect anything to be done for me, but that I should labor and give service to those who have need.
