Called for a Purpose
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)
Sometimes hard things might happen to your family that don’t fit into your plans. They may threaten to turn your life upside down, and force change you’re not ready for. And let’s face it . . . that really stinks.
But what if there is a purpose behind this rough patch? What if you’ve been chosen to accomplish a mission only you can do?
Read today’s Scripture verse as if God is speaking it directly to you (because he is!). You see? You are chosen and created for a purpose! He knows your strengths and weaknesses, your likes and the things you really don’t like, and he picked you for your family. He lovingly directs your family through all of the good and hard seasons. He allowed you to be in this place with these people at this time.
So report for duty, which means you stand ready and willing to do what God asks you to do. The Bible shows the Creator is a loving God who wants a close relationship with you, not some careless being who just watches from far away. He desires to help you discover all that he has created you to be and to use your God-given talents in service to him and others. He doesn’t need you . . . he wants you. Take heart. You are chosen.
SPIRITUAL FITNESS TRAINING
Spend some time in prayer, asking God to show you how you were made to fit into his plan this week. Does he have a special task that only you can do? Is there someone in your life that only you can reach out and talk to? The answer might not come right away, but keep your heart open to being willing to do whatever God says, for whomever he says. Then carry out his plan! Find some paper or a journal to jot down your thoughts and ideas as you talk to God today.
INSPIRATION
“One life is all we have and we live it as we believe in living it. But to sacrifice what you are and to live without belief, that is a fate more terrible than dying.”
--Joan of Arc, a teenage girl in the 1400s who believed God sent her to help France win the Hundred Years War
