The Assignment Bureau (Part 4)

Too often, as Christians, we get caught up in ritual and tradition. What worked for one generation, one group, or one person often becomes the standard by which we judge what is of God and what is not.

But God assigns to each of us a unique calling – meaning, everyone may not understand that which God has assigned you to do.

"For just as each of us has one body with many members, and these members do not all have the same function, so in Christ we, though many, form one body . . . We have different gifts, according to the grace given to each of us." - Romans 12:4-6

Don’t let others talk you out of your assignment just because they may not understand it. At the end of the day, it’s not for them to understand. If it was, God would have given it to them. But He didn’t. He gave it to the person to which it was assigned.

God bless,

J.W.

The Assignment Bureau (Part 3)

In Numbers 4, God gives specific assignments to 3 different families.

“Assign to each man the specific things he is to carry,” He commands Moses and Aaron (Numbers 4:32). “At the Lord’s command through Moses, each was assigned his work and told what to carry” (Numbers 4:49).

Likewise, God has a unique assignment for each one of us. We are NOT to do what everyone else is called to do. Rather, God holds you accountable for the things He’s called YOU to do.

More to come tomorrow.

God bless,

Outside The Box

"'For I know the plans I have for you,' declares the LORD, 'plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.'" ~ Jeremiah 29:11 NIV

Throughout life, the world will undoubtedly try to put you in a box. They’ll tell you what you can and cannot do. They’ll tell you what you can and cannot accomplish. More deceptively, they’ll tell you to follow somebody else’s path; to do things the way everyone else does it.

But don’t fall for that trap!

The Bible tells us that God has a specific plan for each of our lives. So, just because something did or didn’t work for someone else doesn’t mean that it will or won’t work for you.

To achieve success in YOUR life, you must follow the plan that God has for you and no one else.

See, God made us different for a reason. He uniquely made each of us for a purpose.

So, don’t listen to what they say you can and cannot do! They don’t know the God you serve and the vision that He's given you!

God bless,
J.W.

One Of A Kind (Part II)

"Each one should use whatever gift he has received to serve others, faithfully administering God's grace in its various forms." ~ 1 Peter 4:10

One thing I’ve noticed being married for three years now is that God gives each of us our own unique gifts and talents. Many don’t know it but Michele and I are polar opposites. We disagree on a lot of things. We do things differently.

But God planned it that way. He made us and brought us together to be perfect complements.

God also made each of you to be unique. Don’t be ashamed of that. Don’t let others make you feel like an outcast because you don’t fit in. You weren’t made to fit in. You were made to be outside the box. It’s God plan!

God bless,
J.W.

One Of A Kind

"Then the word of the LORD came to me, saying: 'Before I formed you in the womb I knew you; before you were born I sanctified you; I ordained you a prophet to the nations.'” ~ Jeremiah 1:4-5

Do you know that God has a plan for your life?

He has a specific and unique purpose for each of us.

So while you may look at yourself as just an ordinary plain Jane, God sees so much more in you.

He has created you to be one of a kind.

God bless,
J.W.
