God put this on my heart clearly. People seek to be defined by a job...but God seeks to define people
for a job. "For we are God's [own] handiwork (His
workmanship)...[taking paths which He prepared ahead of time] that we
should walk in them...(Eph2:10). He has good
plans (Jer29:11). Many Christians miss their calling to be defined
because they're busy doing good things for God...but not being
still with God to hear Him give direction (Ps 46:10). We
are not called to respond to every request. If you're caught in this
trap you will respond to a valid need... then resent the additional load
or feel inadequate & wonder why you can't get everything done. Get
with God, He wants you to know the paths He's prepared for you-His good
plans. Ask God to search your heart for direction-He will answer you (Ps
139:23-24). Talk this
over with wise godly counsel. We miss it at times, but we can
confidently expect our Father
to reveal His plan & redirect us. Be still...& let God define
you. 3/21/12CIFL-LMM
