---GOD'S CALLING US TO SHARE OUR FAITH IN JESUS ~~

---WILLINGNESS AND RESOLVE ~~

--"Then John gave this testimony: “I saw the Spirit come down from heaven as a dove and remain on him. I would not have known him, except that the one who sent me to baptize with water told me, ‘The man on whom you see the Spirit come down and remain is he who will baptize with the Holy Spirit.’ I have seen and I testify that this is the Son of God.”
--[John 1:32-34 NIV]

---John the Baptist couldn’t do an image search for Jesus of Nazareth. He identified Him when the Spirit of God came as a dove and rested on Him. This spiritual revelation to John emerged not because of a career that he chose, but because of his willingness to accept a life assignment to “make straight the way for the Lord” (v. 23). John had a purpose that overlaid everything else about his life. It was a difficult assignment that would cost him his life, but he stayed true to his calling. We have been called to testify about the Son of God in our generation. It may be difficult, but it’s an assignment that we should take very seriously.

--THINK ABOUT IT
An overarching willingness to accept God’s assignment for your life will inform everything you do and result in both costs and rewards, in the present time and in eternity. It is an amazing privilege.

PRAYER
--"Heavenly Father, help me to embrace Your will and Your assignments with greater priority and passion than anything else in my life. I resolve inwardly and outwardly to place You above all else in my life, asking You to bring forth much good fruit for Your Kingdom purposes. In Jesus’ name, amen. "
