The Word For You Today
Monday December 22
“You have an anointing…and you know all things.” 1Jn 2:20 NKJV
Do it all for the glory of God (2)
Here are two more things you need to know about your calling. (1) The anointing is for each one of us. In Bible times, anointing oil was poured only on the heads of prophets, priests, and kings, symbolizing God’s presence rested on them in a special way. But the anointing is not confined to those in ministry; it’s for everyone–including you! It doesn’t matter whether you’re a teacher, a doctor, or a lawyer. From the top of the organizational chart to the bottom, God wants to anoint you to do whatever it is you’re called to do. If you need legal help, you certainly want an attorney who has been to law school, but you also want an attorney who is anointed by God. If you need surgery, you certainly want a doctor who has been to med school, but you also want a doctor whose hands are anointed by God. The anointing of God knows no limits when it comes to position or portfolio. The apostle John writes: “You have an anointing from the Holy One, and you know all things.” (2) We must seek to please God in all that we do. “Whatever you do, do all to the glory of God” (1Co 10:31 NKJV). The key word is whatever. It doesn’t matter what you’re doing; do it to the glory of God. Oswald Chambers said, “It is inbred in us that we have to do exceptional things for God, but we do not. We have to be exceptional in ordinary things.” And when we are, we put a smile on God’s face.
