Our Life Mission
What is God's mission for your life? Yes, we all have one. We may call it a calling or a purpose, but it is the reason God made us and gifted us as He did. He prepared us to do a particular mission for Him. Moses found this out, and he is a great example of this truth.(Exodus 3:10) As he was sent by God to bring the sons of Israel out of Egypt, we all are sent by God to complete some mission.
I know many people think this is just true of full time Christian servants like pastors and missionaries. It never says that in the Bible, and there are many Biblical examples of God using very common people to do uncommon things. Others would say that their main mission is to be a mother or father, but as noble a responsibility as that is, God is able to give us a mission in addition to being an excellent parent. Moses was a Hebrew raised in Pharaoh's palace. He knew all about God's people and their captors. He had the gifts and personality to lead them out and to lead them through the desert to Canaan. God prepared him and sent him. I am so glad to say that Moses was faithful to his mission, except in one matter that kept him from going into Canaan. However, I know God was pleased to usher him into Paradise.
God has gifted all of us and prepared our personality and experiences to do one main mission. It could be that we are sent to teach preschoolers, children, youth, or adults the Word of God. We could be sent to be a missionary in the workplace to bring many others to Christ and disciple them. We may be gifted to be a greeter at our church, which is such a valuable mission. The choices are as varied as the individuals, but God knows best. We must get quiet and listen, if we don't know what our mission is yet. If we do know our mission, we need to be faithful until God calls us home.
Tomorrow, I intend to read Exodus 6-8.
