Here’s a super quick thought for working together with the Holy Spirit. Get a grip on the fact that God actually knows what He is doing. God is unwaveringly convinced that you are THE person who has been strategically placed in THE location to minister to THE people around you. And, you can take this to the bank, NONE of this is by accident.
The reality is that we aren’t too convinced of this fact. After all, with our inadequacies and imperfections, surely little if anything can be accomplished through us. At best, we are there until somebody better comes along.
Excuses aren’t new to God. The Bible is filled with individuals who wanted their list of “facts” to supersede God’s assignment. Consider Moses. In Exodus 4, we find Moses pulling out his “Top 10 I Can’t List” of reasons to disqualify himself from God’s assignment. Then, consider Jeremiah. In Jeremiah 1, we find that Jeremiah knew who he was and became quite vocal in expressing his “facts” to God. In Jeremiah’s eyes, he was a person with great limitations. Man’s perspective? Unqualified and limited. God’s perspective? I have called and will enable. Enough said.
Consider what I wrote in the first paragraph as God speaking to you. (Note that I am not repeating the following from the first paragraph to add to the word count. It is vital that we see things from God’s perspective.) God actually knows what He is doing. God is unwaveringly convinced that you are THE person who has been strategically placed in THE location to minister to THE people around you. In God’s understanding, NONE of this is by accident.
Know that, if this is true (and it is), then we must start talking and acting as if it is. You’ll be amazed as you witness what THE person (that’s YOU) who has been strategically placed in THE location to minister to THE people around them will accomplish for His Kingdom. Now go be the Moses and Jeremiah to your generation!
