“For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me.”
– Matthew 25:35,36
Today, we acknowledge this Patriots Day marking the 21st anniversary of the 9/11 attacks. We honor in prayer those whose lives were lost, and the unparalleled changes to the families personally affected, along with our citizens, and our nation. Yesterday we encouraged you to put your Jesus glasses on, so you can see where your calling is. Be directed by asking yourself, “Where is there a need in the Kingdom of God that begs to be fulfilled?” God will utilize all your unique skills, experience, and perspectives as you answer the call. As you carry out your assignments, there are other significant questions to ask: Who does God want me to become? How can I become a different kind of person who lives according to the Kingdom? How can I become more valuable to my team and the marketplace? These are questions in the Kingdom of God that matter. Friend, God wants you to hear this good news regarding your callings. It’s about who you become. God desires you to make a little difference; then He will trust you with more. See the world through the lens of the Kingdom of God, and recognize that when you serve others, you are taking a step toward leading a meaningful, powerful life that God has planned out for you. |
Prayer
Father, thank you for showing me the needs in Your Kingdom that I can fulfill.
Reflection
How are you applying your unique skills and experience in your calling? Have you asked God how you can be different in the coming months?
