Are You a Dorc?
Part 4
At this point, if you don’t know what a dorc is then please read the previous blogs about a disciple by the name of Dorcas. If you don’t know why you’d want to be a dorc then read on. There’s a verse in II Corinthians that perfectly describes God’s attitude toward giving, generous disciples such as Dorcas. 2 Corinthians 9:7, “Let each one [give] as he has made up his own mind and purposed in his heart, not reluctantly or sorrowfully or under compulsion, for God loves (He takes pleasure in, prizes above other things, and is unwilling to abandon or to do without) a cheerful (joyous, “prompt to do it”) giver [whose heart is in his giving]. AMP
Check that out! It says that God prizes above other things and is unwilling to abandon or to do without a cheerful, joyous, prompt to do it giver. Perhaps this is exactly why God had Peter positioned near the city of Joppa. God wanted someone near who would have the faith to pray for disciple Dorcas to be brought back to life. It was obvious the people felt they needed Dorcas in their midst and it seemed as if God felt the same way.
If God were to examine our lives today, would He say we were a vitally needed part of the church, our community and our society? While the Marines are always looking for a few good men; I think our God is always looking for a few good dorcs!
