“I cry out to God Most High, to God who will fulfill his purpose for me (Psalm 57:2, New Living Translation).”
I went into my monthly day-long retreat needing some reassurance that I would ever have a significant assignment in God’s kingdom again. I miss a paycheck, but I miss the sense that I’m contributing on the front line of Spirit-work as much.
In my devotions, I’ve been going through the Psalms, and today was the day to encounter the 57th Psalm. What an encouragement!
I am crying out to God. And it is God who will fulfill his purposes for me. This is God’s job, not mine (though I have plenty of work to do). Furthermore, God will fulfill his purposes for me. God has a purpose for my life. He has given me gifts, experience and passions.
I still don’t have a clue how this will all work out, but I do have a hope — and his name is Jesus.
