DIFFERENT STROKES/DIFFERENT FOLKS

Remember we spoke of being outspoken? Let us look closer at this person. When we think of someone outspoken in the world, we think hard, fierce, and severe even. Look at the same person saved and pliable and what do we see? We see someone that is sensitive and caring, while speaking the truth they do not try to hurt the feelings of others. This person is able to accept others opinions and allow others to speak and teach them. This person has become pliable, they know that is not them, but the strength of God that is doing the speaking.

All are not called to preach, nor teach. It takes many different people to make up a body. In fixing a minor repair it might be nice to have a jack-of-all-trades, but in building a home that will stand it is best to hire an individual that is a specialist in one area. That means you need a plumber, a mason, an architect, do not forget the land has to be prepared, lines for drainage dug, the list goes on.

All this is needed so that the house can be built properly. Now we both would love to have a home built, but neither of us is capable of building a home. We cannot build a house. We have said it before and will say it again, not everyone is called to do everything. Just because you think you can do it, does not mean you should be doing it.

Pray and seek the Lord. We promise if you do that He will let you know what you are suppose to be doing. We can think of many great men and women of Christ that were called to do things and said Lord I am not able. God gave them the ability to do what He wanted them to do. We can name people that have a talent in one area, but God sent them on another path.

The important thing to remember here is that whatever God has in mind for you to do, He will empower you to finish what He started.

God Bless Indeed
