"I’ll show up and take care of you as I promised and bring you back home. I know what I’m doing. I have it all planned out—plans to take care of you, not abandon you, plans to give you the future you hope for." (Jeremiah 29:10B-11 MSG)
When God showed me my audience, who I'm assigned to, and who is assigned to me, it was freeing. I don't have to strive for anything. What God has for me can't be misdirected or taken. God has perfect direction and perfect timing.
He wants me to trust Him to get what He's given me to share to whoever needs it. Because He's in the details, I can focus on the assignment He's given me.
My responsibility is obedience. Everything else is on Him. What a pressure reliever!
Keep doing what God has called you to do. Don't worry about who is on board, who is or isn't celebrating you, or who is or isn't supporting you. God is on board since He gave you the assignment. God is celebrating you and cheering you on because He knows you can do it. God is supporting you.
He will open doors for you. He will say your name in rooms you have not even entered into yet! God knows everyone. Relax. You don't have to make anything happen. Just be prepared because God specializes in suddenly. And remember, He uses prepared vessels.
You're not wasting time. God is preparing you for what He's prepared for you. And, He's preparing them to receive you correctly and favorably. You don't want to go into an unprepared room or be around unprepared people. There's a reason God closes a door, removes people. Accept it. Trust Him.
Let this verse of Scripture comfort and inspire you to keep doing what God has called you to do:
“I see what you’ve done. Now see what I’ve done. I’ve opened a door before you that no one can slam shut. You don’t have much strength, I know that; you used what you had to keep my Word. You didn’t deny me when times were rough." (Revelation 3:8 MSG)
Be Encouraged! ❤
