Here's a story you may have heard before. It's about four people named Everybody, Somebody, Anybody, and Nobody.

There was an important job to do in the organization to which they all belonged. Everybody was asked to do it. Everybody was sure that Somebody would do it.

In reality, Anybody could have done it. But Nobody did it. Somebody got angry about that because it was Everybody's job.

Nobody realized that Everybody wouldn't do it. It ended up with Everybody blaming Somebody. That meant that Nobody could really blame Anybody.

Sound familiar? You can give it a different ending. All you have to do is decide that you want to be Somebody. If you do not do your job, who will?

The people did the work faithfully.
(2 Chronicles 34: 12)
