’Stewarding God’s Purpose For You’ - A Thought from South Africa

Stewarding God’s Purpose for You

God has given us each unique gifts, and with the power of the Spirit, we can steward each of them for His glory.

👉No matter where you find yourself in life right now, God can use you to fulfill your purpose of glorifying Him. Many times throughout scripture, God uses ordinary people to accomplish extraordinary things. It’s not because these people did something wonderful to deserve this purpose; God just uses them because they were willing.

👉Take Moses for example. When God called Moses to free the enslaved Israelites, Moses was helping his father in-law with some sheep. He was not a good speaker, nor had he proven himself as some great leader, but God still reached out to Him.

👉The same thing is true for all the disciples that Christ called. They were normal people. Some, Matthew for example, were even outcasts from society, but Jesus called them and they responded. After Christ’s resurrection and ascension, the disciples helped spread the gospel and plant churches. At one point, the writer of Acts calls John and Peter “uneducated, common men.” Acts 4:13

👉God is the one who gives us purpose. He provides us with the tools, resources, and talents we need to accomplish the purpose, but all we have comes from Him.
As you read through, begin thinking about how God can use you right where you are at. Don’t wait until you get something else. Follow the lead of Moses and the disciples and just respond to His call.

📖 “So He said, “I will certainly be with you. And this shall be a sign to you that I have sent you: When you have brought the people out of Egypt, you shall serve God on this mountain.””
‭‭Exodus‬ ‭3:12‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

🙏Remain steadfast In Him
