These past few weeks have gone by extremely fast. I have been on a tight deadline to get the new content done for Destiny Rescue’s brand new website, which is scheduled to launch mid-September. To be honest, it was quite a daunting task to begin writing nearly 40 pages of content for the website in such a short time frame. Yet, every time I prayed about it, God gave me a supernatural peace despite the pressure to get it done. Not only that, He gave me the creativity and brain power to stay focused, stay on task and on schedule!
I am reminded of a passage in the Bible when God specifically chose certain individuals to design and construct the Tabernacle. The Bible says, “Then Moses told the people of Israel, “The Lord has specifically chosen Bezalel son of Uri, grandson of Hur, of the tribe of Judah. The Lord has filled Bezalel with the Spirit of God, giving him great wisdom, ability, and expertise in all kinds of crafts. He is a master craftsman, expert in working with gold, silver, and bronze. He is skilled in engraving and mounting gemstones and in carving wood. He is a master at every craft. And the Lord has given both him and Oholiab son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan, the ability to teach their skills to others. The Lord has given them special skills as engravers, designers, embroiderers in blue, purple, and scarlet thread on fine linen cloth, and weavers. They excel as craftsmen and as designers” (Exodus 35:30-35 NLT).
God anointed and empowered Bazalel and Oholiab to design and build elements for the Tabernacle and gave them insight on how to train and lead others to do the same thing. In other words, God equipped the two of them to carry out His plan for their lives.
Similarly, God has called me to write and use the gifts He has given me to help others – to free people from bondage, to be a voice for the voiceless and offer hope to those who are down trodden. And He has empowered me to write all the web content for Destiny Rescue’s new site and has given me the creativity and wisdom to tell their story well. The crazy thing is, I recall in high school and even college how I got all stressed out over having to write a paper. I even changed to a different English class in college because I had a 10 page paper due the same week!
I look back and stand amazed at how much has been accomplished in such a short amount of time. Simply put, God empowered me to do it!
God doesn’t just empower a select few; He empowers anyone who will walk with Him in humility and learn to lean on Him for help…and this includes YOU and me! He has given you certain skills and abilities, and He has supernaturally graced you to accomplish various tasks and assignments that He already preplanned for you! The key is to lean on Him for assistance and not strive in the flesh.
I want to encourage you to ask God for His help in discovering your purpose and what your gifts are. After all, He created you. He has made you unique and special and the world needs you! It doesn’t need another carbon copy of someone else, but it does need YOU! So relax, and enjoy becoming the person God created you to be.
And remember, what God has called you to do, He has already given you the grace, skills and ability to accomplish it!
