Friday Devotional.......8/26/16

Good Morning,

Some days are just days...no more no less. There are no bells and whistles to ruminate on. That said, today did have its moments. My friend Rose Michelle stopped by and we chatted . She came by to pick up some devotional books that I had for her. I think I am busy but Rose Michelle is busy off the chart. The things she is doing all appeal to me but one must make choices from all the things that are possible.

The other big thing that happened was that our "sister" Nancy came home today from her summer in Colorado. She goes there every summer and we are always glad to have her back. Now things are as they should be in our house. Welcome home, Nancy!

So I guess it was a good day afterall!

Today's devotional is named,  "Making an Impact." It was written by Corinne Mustafa. its theme is that we are positioned by God.to make a difference in His universe. He has created His people to take a role in His creation.Corinne wrote, "What do you think your God given mission is? I invite you to search your heart and see what God has for you.  As you do this remember that you are not too old or too young to set out on the trip."

Have a fantastic Friday

God bless

Making an Impact

When you read this sign it proclaims what our job in life should be...not in topic detail but rather a general outline of how to fit yourself into God's world.

The fact is that God has created us with a role in His creation. There are many ways we can step into this role. The job for us is to seek God and try to discern what He has for you to do.

It can be a work in progress. Some times people do not find out what their destiny is until they are much older. One secular example of this is Grandma Moses who started painting at the age of 78 and painted until her death at the age of 100. There are many examples of slowing arriving at a given place. Others know where they want to head when they are very young. Last night on TV there was a young 15 year old who told her father that she wanted to be an astronaut and go to Mars when she was 3 years old.

The journey can end with a thought and a desire and the route is chosen, or there can be a long journey with many side roads. In this case it could take years to find the right path. If we are unsure we need to observe and feel God's leading.

Whatever the outcome and the particulars we can be sure that God does have a plan, and whatever we end up becoming we should poise ourselves to make an impact  in the world. Not many of us can be a Billy Graham or a Mother Theresa who is known far and wide. Our "world" can be as small as our home, neighborhood, church or city. Everyone can look around and discover the action and scope that we are called to.  We need to remember what is said in Scripture...

For we are co-workers in God’s service; 

you are God’s field, God’s building.
1 Corinthians 3:9

What do you think your God given mission is? I invite you to search your heart and see what God has for you.  As you do this remember that you are not too old or too young to set out on the trip. The song below provides good food for thought about what is happening as you work to find your place of usefulness to God in the world.
