God has ordained a purpose for each life. However, it is obvious that some among us have immense natural gifts that facilitate their service to the Lord while others seem quite lacking in resources to serve His Kingdom. We find ourselves somewhat confused by that seeming disparity that is beyond our ability to understand.
Yet, we know God is fair and just. We know that even though our finite minds cannot unravel verses such as Exodus 4:11, 12 that says, “…Who makes the dumb, the deaf, the seeing, the blind? Is it not I the Lord! Now, go, and I will be with you and teach you what you are to say.”
This passage acknowledges the seeming unfairness of the fact that some people seem to be unable to speak while others are prolific and eloquent in their ability to convey ideas; that some are dull of vision while others see splendid truths. Yet it goes on to convey an undeniable equalizing aspect of our Lord.
It says, “…I will be with you and teach you what you are to say.” Whether our gifts of communication are great or small, whether we possess eloquence or stammer in our thoughts and in our words, when we surrender our lips to the Holy Spirit, He will use us to convey Christ to the ears and hearts around us.
I hope Phil is doing well. He and you are in my prayers. Sorry I asked for the favor. I was just desparate. Take care of yourself.
ReplyDeletePlease do not apologize for asking! I should apologize for being unable to help you! Phil is doing well, praise God. He tires very easily. It seems all his energy is going toward recovering but that's as it should be.
ReplyDeleteI trust all went well for you and you have the Lord's peace that passes understanding to keep you secure in His love and complete provision for your life and the lives of those you love.
Jesus will "never fail you nor forsake you." Even when you can't see or don't understand, He is behind the veil causing "all things" to work for good in your life, according to His promise.
He is faithful!
