I recently asked a group of Sunday school teachers what they would do if they won the Lotto – five or ten million.
Their answers were similar. Settle all my debt, buy a house or car or both. But then they all had the same desire to help other people, the needy, orphans and widows.
As we went around the table, each person’s eyes lit up as they dreamt out loud. Very few, or any of them actually play the Lotto but they know what they would do if they won the money.
I wonder what you would do if you actually won a few million.
Don’t wait, don’t hesitate, you could actually do more than you think with what you already have. You may not be able to start an orphanage but you could volunteer at an existing one. Your finances may not be sufficient to start a feeding scheme but you could volunteer to help at an existing feeding scheme. Every one of us has something to give. Many years ago a little boy gave five small fishes and two loaves of bread to Jesus that fed over 5 000 people.
The key to changing the world is your willingness to give your little bit to Jesus who can multiply it to help many others.
Don’t wait for the Lotto, give what you can, money, time, skills and prayers and watch God do a miracle.
