Yesterday I told you that my friend John begins everyday by telling the Lord he’s available for any and every assignment. Since my wife died some months ago, I’ve thought about praying that prayer, but I’m hesitant. Praying that prayer is kind of like signing an unread document. You don’t know what you’re signing up for. I don’t know why I’m hesitant. I know I can trust the One who calls me. Still, I hesitate. I want more information before I sign up. But that’s not the way God works. He’s not asking you to say “yes” to an assignment. He’s asking you to say “yes” to Him.
“‘You must go to everyone I send you to…Do not be afraid… for I am with you…’ declares the LORD.”
— Jeremiah 1:7-8 (NIV)
Lord help us to be willing to go even if we don’t know where You’re taking us. Amen.
