"On Kingdom Assignment; Handling Kingdom Business"

Let me share with you a little secret, I never think that I’m good enough to be called by God. Though I recognized that none of us “deserve” to be chosen by God. In retrospect I also must wonder, Why? In the last post I shared about being toxic, a large portion of me being toxic was the fact that I couldn’t recognize my worth and value. I never thought I was good enough, but the fact of the matter is that God still made the decision to use me. He saw in me what I couldn’t see in myself.

I was running from strife, I was running from rejection, I was running because I didn’t believe that I was of any use because I’ve been the weak link. You know, the underdog, the last resort, the one that was picked last. So, I got to a point where I didn’t trust people; I built walls in my life against family, friends, relationships, even myself. Got to a point where the wall even wouldn’t allow me to trust God in many cases. I was afraid that God saw me the way “I” saw myself, not me seeing me the way that God sees me. I pray you understand.

Yet, He still found me while I was misplaced, called me into His service and work. I got comfortable not being called on by the people closes to me, that when the Creator called me I didn’t want to go. I wasn’t secure in myself enough to believe that God could use, me. Nevertheless, He called me but didn’t call me without the reassurance that He’d be right there with me along the way.  The bible says that the Lord called Gideon after a brief discourse of sharing why he (Gideon) wasn’t qualified, “The Lord said to him, “I will be with you. And you will destroy the Midianites as if you were fighting against one man” (v. 16).

God has given you, me, us the ability to destroy the Midianites. Even when you don’t feel like you are capable God still has a way of using you for His Glory. God chose a flawed individual like you and I, to save a nation and destroy the very things that try to come against that nation. We will fight as if it is only one man… It might not be a victory that we sit back and watch, but it will be a Victory we won’t have to work hard for. Being chosen by the Father means to be OBEDIENT to His will. That’s how we win, by being OBEDIENT to His will for our lives.

So live, LIVE LIKE YOUR LIFE IS IN GOD’S HANDS!!
