Daunting Mission!

Often the tasks that we are dealt with seem too daunting!
I have asked myself more times than I would like to remember, am I equipped for this?

There's a duty that we are all appointed with.  The question is whether or not we want to take hold of that mission.  Our mission can be to be the difference in our work place, or take care of our family or perhaps it's to help or assist others in different ways.  Whatever our Mission we ultimately make the decision whether to fulfill it or run from it.

We've all been through the path of either running away from our appointed mission or complaining about it.  One thing is certain when it's appointed by God we can fulfill our purpose or God will get someone that will.  Ponder on this thought!  

The Bible gives us an example of many missions given to ordinary people like you and me.  one of my very favorites is about Esther.  She was faced with such a mission and purpose for her life.  She could fulfill her calling or be afraid of it and hide but either way she needed to choose.

" Mordecai sent this reply to Esther: “Don’t think for a moment that because you’re in the palace you will escape when all other Jews are killed. 14 If you keep quiet at a time like this, deliverance and relief for the Jews will arise from some other place, but you and your relatives will die. Who knows if perhaps you were made queen for just such a time as this?” Esther 4:13-14

We can choose to be ordinary and run and hide when God presents us with a difficult task or we can choose despite our fears,to be obedient fulfilling our God given calling. 

God never runs out of options or ideas.  He is brilliant in His ways and if one person decides to not trust His brilliance than He will pick someone else to fulfill the task. 

What task do you know God has called you to do that you've avoided?  I encourage you that whatever you are called to do God has already equipped you to accomplish.  It's not up to us to do the figuring out sometimes for the most part He requires just obedience, to comply with His will and be submissive to His call.
