Guyana — Part 2
In the same home we mentioned yesterday, on the wall at the other end of the table was the following verse:
“As we have therefore opportunity, let us do good unto all men, especially unto them who are of the household of faith” (Galatians 6:10).
In conversation with our host and his wife, I very quickly realized that this was a verse that they also really took to heart. Not only had they taken myself and my four fellow-travelers in, but I learned that their gate was always open to those who needed a place to stay and a meal. In fact, on the last evening of our stay with them they killed and roasted a pig and invited everyone from the village to join in a feast just before we had a gospel meeting.
We don’t have to have a lot to be a testimony to the world and a help to our fellow believers. There was a boy in the days when the Lord was on earth who only had “five barley loaves, and two small fishes” (John 6:9), but it was used to feed thousands. The great question is not how much do we have, but are we using what we have for the Lord? “Withhold not good from them to whom it is due, when it is in the power of thine hand to do it” (Proverbs 3:27).
