In Step with the Commander

From far across the earth I brought you here and said, “You are my chosen servant. I haven’t forgotten you.”

Isaiah 41:9 (CEV)

Watching a Military exercise can blow your mind.

Jets flying close to each other.

People marching in perfect step.

A massive ship sailing carefully into port.

For it all to happen, everyone must follow orders. Even if one person misses one instruction, it can cause the entire formation to be ruined!

Sometimes orders are difficult, sometimes scary or frustrating. Sometimes they are exciting and fun! If you have a good commander who cares about you and the mission, it is easier to follow orders.

Ultimately, God is our commander. He is in control of the whole world. You might think you are just along for the ride with your family, but God chose you for your hometown, this family, at this time. You are his recruit. He made you, with all your likes and talents to do jobs that will help others and make a difference in this world. Take some time today to pray and ask God how he can use you.

What do you think God has made you to do? One good way to find out is to look at the special skills and talents he has given you. He can use those in unique ways for his good plans! On some paper or in a journal, write or draw things you are really good at or enjoy doing!

PRAY

Lord, you direct everything! Help me follow your orders to join your mission.
