Wednesday

God is the One who made all things,

and all things are for his glory.

He wanted to have many children

share his glory.

~Hebrews 2:10 (NCV)~

I ONCE HEARD interviews with survivors from World War II…

The soldiers recalled how they spent a particular day. One sat in a foxhole; once or twice, a German tank drove by and he shot at it. Others played cards and frittered away the time. A few got involved in furious firefights. Mostly, the day passed like any other. Later, they learned they had just participated in one of the largest, most decisive engagements of the war, the Battle of the Bulge. It didn’t feel decisive at the time because none had the big picture.

Great victories are won when ordinary people execute their assigned tasks.

Perhaps you sense you’re in a spiritual rut. Stay at your assigned task! Obedience to God offers the way out of our futility. (Philip Yancey)

“What does the Lord require of you

but to do justly,

to love mercy,

and to walk humbly with your God.”

~ Micah 6:8~

 

 

Be faithful to your assigned task.
