Believe it or not, we are all called by God! We are chosen by God! Before God created us, He has got a mission for us already!
Acts 7:35 "This is the same Moses whom they had rejected with the words, 'Who made you ruler and judge?' He was sent to be their ruler and delieverer by God himself, through the angel who appeared to him in the bush."
I was reading the book of Acts chapter seven and really, I got no verse that really touched my heart. I tried to read it again and again, finally, I found this verse. First, I didn't understand what this meant, but the Holy Spirit is really cool! His teaching is undeniably great!
If we scan the previous verses, God had spoken that there will be great prophets from the descendents of Abraham. It means that God knows that Moses will be born and other prophets later after Moses. This means that God knows us before we are born! Awesome!
Not only that, God has a mission for us that no one and nothing can ever stop! Verse 35 told us that Moses was rejected by the Israelites by saying "Who made you ruler and judge?" The fact was that God was the One Who CHOSE Moses to be a ruler! So, nobody can mess up with God's mission for Moses. I bet we all know the story that finally, Moses could be accepted by the Israelites. Although not fully accepted, Moses still lead the people out from Egypt! How cool is our God!?
Sometimes it is hard for God to call us to do His will. We, as human beings, do not answer God's calling. We are sometimes to busy with worldly things which aren't important compared to God's love. Hahaha. God must try to find ways to call us to do the mission. In case we do not answer His phone, He still has some back up phones.
From the verse, God used two media to get Moses' attention unto the mission to set free the Israelites that time. First, God asked His angel and second, God used a
the bush. This just proves that God can use anyone (the angel) or anything (the bush) for us to answer Him!
Well, it depends on us, are we going to say 'yes' or 'no' or 'later' or what? We are not God's robots, so God never forces us to answer His call, to love Him or anything!
For me, I will say 'Yes, Lord! I want to accomplish Your mission in me!' because sometimes there is nothing else I can do except say 'Yes, Lord. I want it.' I believe God understands that we are weak but He will enable us to do it!
So, what do you say to God's mission in your life?
*Please say Yes!*
Amen!
