Just do it.
That is the catchphrase of one of the world’s leading sports apparel brand. Their store in a mall, just recently, and for quite a long time, put up a big poster of two of their leading endorsers: Kobe and LeBron – two basketball superstars whom fans had hoped to battle it out in the (recent) finals. They never did. It seems they just couldn’t do it.
The company, in a way, put their faith on two humans. Failure of the endorsers to “just do it” may not topple down the company. But imagine if it was you who put your faith on people and they failed big time.
Put in Christian light, “just do it” is a disposition that entails a lot of faith – faith in God, of course, not in men. When the first missionaries arrived in Cebu encountered obstacles – the least of which was not having a sanctuary to worship in, they probably said to each other, “Let’s just do it. God will provide.” When people were pessimistic about reopening the Bradford Memorial Church, citing the unsuitability of the old building for worship services, our church leaders said, “Let’s just do it!”
Sure enough, God provided; just as He did almost a hundred years ago; just as He always does.
So the next time you are doubtful about having enough to do something, just do it. God is sure to provide the needs of His children.
