Accepting Your Assignment

What is your assignment? What has God tasked you with?

Well, we are tasked with serving Him, with worshiping Him and praising Him.

We all have a purpose and a journey on earth until we meet God in heaven.

Our journey contains our assignment which is to have faith and trust in God regardless of what we face, what we encounter, what’s presented to us, our roles, jobs and status in life.

For example, as we are all sisters. Our roles are female, we may be mothers, wives or siblings. So we have relationships, relationships that come with responsibilities.

We may be caregivers, caring for family members or friends.

We may be wage earners either employed by someone or self-employed.

We live in a world that is not our home, so we have to make adjustments to survive. When we encounter things that are uncomfortable for us we must adjust.

We also live in a body that is a temporary home so again we have to make adjustments. We have to adapt. When our body suffers a physical ailment we must adjust. When our body experiences changes we must adjust.

And through everything that we encounter, the good, the bad and the indifferent we must remain steadfast in our faith. And why must we remain steadfast in our faith, because without faith it is impossible to please God.

Each of us is chosen by God. Chosen for blessings and eternal life with Him if we accept Him as our Lord and Savior, as well as chosen for whatever He has planned for us in our temporary home while here on earth.

Let’s take Job for example.  Job was a husband and a father. He loved the Lord and eschewed evil. He was a provider for his family. He was living the life God created him to live. He was going about his business raising his family. He offered burnt offerings continually in case his sons sinned and cursed God in their hearts.

He was similar in many aspects to you and me. We don’t offer burnt offering for our children but we do pray for them. Job was keeping his assignment. He had faith and trust in God. Then one day.

Have you ever had a then one day? Everything is going well. You go to church every Sunday, you may be active in the ministry. You go to work every day, you’ve got a little money in the bank.

Then one day….Your then one day could be a physical illness, it could a loss of income or a job, it could be a family tragedy…whatever it is, it is something that’s unexpected, and may prompt you to ask why me, why now. It may even cause you to question God.
