God
has created each of us as individuals to make a contribution to the kingdom. If
He had not chosen you, you would not be here. If you do not remember anything
else, please remember this. I cannot say it enough. No one can do what you can
do exactly the way that you can do it.
God
created you for a specific purpose.
Each
of us have our own journey in life, our own God given and God purposed
assignments, gifts and talents. Our own portion.
What
God has for you is for you and no man can take it away from you.
In
1 Samuel 16:6-7 we read And it came to pass, when they
were come, that he looked on Eliab, and said, Surely the Lord's anointed
is before him. But the Lord said unto Samuel, Look not on his
countenance, or on the height of his stature; because I have refused him: for
the Lord seeth not as man seeth; for man looketh on the outward
appearance, but the Lord looketh
on the heart.
Man
looks at the outside, but God looks at the heart. How often a judgement, a
decision or a choice is made based solely on an outward appearance. I am so
glad God knows each and every one of us. He selects us based on His knowledge
of who He has chosen and created us to be. Samuel didn’t know anything about
Eliab, but in his mind, or with his rationale, or carnal way of thinking, he
just knew Eliab was God’s anointed. A decision based solely on his appearance.
It
doesn’t matter what you, or anyone else sees in you. What matters is what God
sees in you, what God says about you and what God knows about you.
You
are Gods choice. You were not chosen by man, nor did you appoint yourself. The
only qualification God is looking for is your faith, your obedience to His
call. Your willingness to follow His path for your life, to go where He sends
you and to do what He has chosen for you to do.
