Necessity is laid upon me.

1 Corinthians 9:16-17, For if I preach the gospel, that gives me no ground for boasting. For necessity is laid upon me. Woe to me if I do not preach the gospel! For if I do this of my own will, I have a reward, but if not of my own will, I am still entrusted with a stewardship.

Paul viewed the call to preach the gospel as a necessity for him. Do we see a necessity in His call to us? He asks us to be good stewards with all the gifts that He has given us.

Give us boldness to do what is necessary to advance the gospel today!
