1 Corinthians 7:17: “Only let each person lead the life that the Lord has assigned to him, and to which God has called him.”
Do you realize where you are right now is God’s design and place for you? You may be wishing you could trade places with someone else you admire and envy, but God has placed you exactly where He knows your spiritual gifts, skills, and talents can be used for His glory just as He created you to be. He always has a higher purpose in mind than we ever can see or comprehend. My struggles and failures I have to remind myself don’t tell the whole story in the circumstances in my life. I have to retrain my thinking to keep the big picture in mind because that is just what God intends. I often see my glass as half empty instead of half full. How about you?
Live, obey, love others as Christ has loved you, and believe and trust in God’s mighty faithfulness and power. You are here because God has an intended purpose only you can do. You don’t know for sure what that is? Ask God what His dreams for you are? Then commit your personal desires to God. Ask God to make you of benefit in your work, in your family, with your friends, and watch what He enfolds. God is “eternal” – He is not limited by time.
Another of God’s attributes is “incomprehensible.” That means God is beyond our understanding. We can never comprehend the power of God. God is also “infinite.” He has no limits in His person or His power.
What gives you joy? What gives you fulfillment? Your strengths will grow you in your career and in your present time of life – be that being single or married.
Christ’s return is closer to fruition each day. Until then, remember, you are on assignment from God just exactly where He has placed you. So demonstrate your faith wherever you are and let God’s light shine through you. Are you a leader? Do it with zeal. Are you compassionate and able to show mercy? Then do it with cheerfulness. Are there those that you are mentoring or contributing in their life in some way? Then do it with generosity (Romans 12:8) to use for God’s glory in what God has assigned to each one belonging in the body of Christ. “Love from the center of who you are.” Romans 12:9 MSG.
What makes up the assignment God has assigned to you?
How can you serve God faithfully in the current circumstances you find yourself?
