I greet you in Jesus’ precious name! It is Sunday morning, the 21st of June, 2026, and this is your friend, Angus Buchan, with a thought for today. It is Father's Day, I want to congratulate all fathers on this day, not an easy job! We go to the Gospel of John 20:21: ”So Jesus said to them again, “Peace to you! As the Father has sent Me, I also send you.” You and I have been sent by God. That wonderful man of God, F B Meyer, wrote, ”We should never leave our room until we have seen the face of our dear Master, Jesus Christ, and have realised that we are being sent forth by Him to do His will and to finish the work that He has given us to do.” That’s quite an awesome thing, isn’t it, to be sent by the Lord? Now, every single day, God has a plan for your lives and for my life, every single day. I can see some old lady there, in an old age home says, ”What have I got to do today? I can’t even leave my room.” What you can do, you can pray, and please put me on that list. You can pray because God answers prayer. That’s one thing I do know. You know, people ask me often, ”What can we do to help you or help the ministry?” And I just say one thing, ”Please pray.” You see when men work, they work, but when men pray, God works. So every single day, you and I have got something to do. He gives us the wherewithal to do the job. I can hear a young man say, ”I will never get that degree, I just cannot get there.” You can and you will, and every day, you do your part, God will do the rest, and then of course, He doesn’t send us out like lambs amongst the wolves. No, He sends us out with the Holy Spirit, and if you listen to Him carefully, He will direct your paths. He will tell you, ”Don’t go this way, go that way. Don’t do this, do that. Phone that person, don’t phone the other person.” Listen! Get into a habit of listening to everything He wants you to do. We need to do exactly as Jesus did because Jesus said, ”The Father has sent Me and even so I send you.” Each one of us. I am so excited about what God has got in store for you today. It might just be what you think is something very small but it might just change a person’s life forever. So Father, I pray for my friends now, that they will never think that they are of no use, but You have called them, appointed them for a time such as this. Make them obedient to Your word which says, ”Lord, please send me.” I ask this in Jesus’ precious name, amen.
