Used In a Mighty Way.
I was lying in bed the other night when The LORD spoke to me. He told me that He is using me in a might way. I'm just not seeing it from His perspective. You see, one of my prayers every morning is to be used in a mighty way by God. I tell God that here I am. Use me, send me, do something mighty with me today. And then the phone rings. It is a woman from church who is telling me that she is sick and will not be able to make it to church on Sunday. She asked me if I could pick up the two ladies that she usually picks up for her. I told her that I could absolutely do that for her. So I started to mentally make plans on what time I had to leave in the morning to pick up the two extra riders. That's when God spoke to me. He said "I am using you in a mighty way. You are picking up these two ladies and bringing them to church." My response was like, "umm Lord, that's not what I had in mind." You see in my mind He had me preaching to large groups of people. Leading prayer at some big event. You know, something huge, something God worthy. While all He wants is for me to give someone a ride to church. You see it says in His word that His ways are not my ways. His thoughts are not my thoughts. Both of His ways are higher than mine. (Isaiah 55:8-9) It says in Luke 16:10 (NLT)10 “If you are faithful in little things, you will be faithful in large ones. But if you are dishonest in little things, you won’t be honest with greater responsibilities. It's like God is telling me, "if you'll be faithful in picking up these two ladies and bring them to church, I will give you something larger to do later." So, who am I to say that my mighty way is better than God's! Lord, I give you all the praise and glory in the big stuff and the little stuff. You are in it all! Amen!
