WHEN GOD GIVES AN ASSIGNMENT

WHEN GOD GIVES AN ASSIGNMENT

The Bible says that “each person is given something to do that shows who God is” (1 Corinthians 12:7 MSG).

When God gives an assignment, he also gives the skill. Look at your life. What do you consistently do well? What do you love to do? And what do others love for you to do? So much for the excuse, “I don’t have anything to offer. I can’t do anything.” And enough of its arrogant opposite, “I have to do everything.”

Imitate the apostle Paul who said, “Our goal is to stay within the boundaries of God’s plan for us” (2 Corinthians 10:13 NLT). So extract your uniqueness. “Kindle afresh the gift of God which is in you” (2 Timothy 1:6 NASB). And do so to make a big deal out of God.
