The Word For You Today
Tuesday December 30
“Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you.” Jn 15:16 KJV
God has a purpose for your life
It doesn’t take many people to bring about change. In fact, too many people can get in the way. Gideon took 32,000 to fight, but God needed only 300. He doesn’t care how many can be counted—He cares only about how many can be counted on. The truth is that your life could be messed up because too many people are telling you what to do. Hang up the phone. Shut the door. Turn off the TV. Get down before God and ask Him to speak to you. He will give you the word you need (see Isa 50:4). God doesn’t need a crowd; He just needs one who will listen and obey. If He wants to start a nation, He’ll give hope and vision to an Abraham. If He wants to bring down an Egyptian Pharaoh, He’ll reach into the bulrushes and pull out a Moses. When He wants a lineage for His Son, He’ll go to the “red light district” and find a Rahab. He’s just looking for a willing heart. Listen again: “Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you.” Ethel Waters, who sang with the Billy Graham crusades, loved to say, “God don’t sponsor no flops.” Her grammar was slightly off, but her theology was “right on.” Don’t spend your life trying to be ordinary. Don’t pour your life into the mold of someone else’s expectations. God has an agenda for you. The reason He’s brought you through so much is that He has a higher plan and purpose for your life. Get into His presence today and ask Him about it.
