God Often Leads, Where There is Need!
In most cases people live from day to day, not knowing where life will lead them. But there are others who have become aware of patterns in their life, and have since become content with its direction. God often leads us where there is need. If you have chosen to partner with your Creator, who by the way had an original and intended purpose for your existence, He will lead you to the best place in which you can be used to satisfy a need. If you listen and pay attention closely; or even just look back over your lives, you will discover that when you were attuned to God, your transitions have been directly connected to the need in someone’s life. It’s not that where you were headed was bad, and you very well could have chosen that route. But somewhere in the course of your efforts in obedience to righteousness, you heeded the call from within, that there is another way I can go and the need for me there is greater. Wow, what a charge, what a call, to actually be needed. Many of us desire to be needed. But if we look at our lives, and our lives are in agreement with God, we will discover that where we are right now is directly related to need. You are on that job because there is a need. You are in that marriage because there is a need. God gave you that child because you were best suited for that need. Don’t let anyone tell you that you are not needed. The poster of old used to say Uncle Sam Wants You! But the poster I’m posting today is that God NEEDS You! In the truest sense God doesn’t need anything, but He wills to use what He has created, for His purposes can not fail. God can not create something for which it does not work. This is why we know it is true that God is at work in all things for the good of those who love the Lord and are THE CALLED ACCORDING TO HIS PURPOSE. It has to work out for good. His purposes never fail. So my word to encourage you today is to fear not! Heed the leading and prompting of the Holy Spirit. Don’t fight the change; God is leading you to another need. Once you adequately supply a need, then you must move on to the next assignment. Hallelujah, someone ought to recognize their “Next Assignment”. Full steam ahead and adjust the rudders; hoist the main…God is calling me to another need, for which only I am best equipped. Pray this prayer with me right now. “Lead me Father to the place you desire for my life. I submit today, in Jesus Name!”

And everyone said…AMEN!
