Work willingly at whatever you do, as though you were working for the Lord rather than for people. (Colossians 3:23 NLT)
Where has God positioned you in your community, work place, family, sports club, or church? There is a divine reason for being right there, right now. You may not see it and worse still, you may even hate it! But when you look for and fulfill the purpose - the God-given purpose - it will change your motivation and sense of joy...and graduate you to the next season, situation, and opportunity! Most get frustrated when they find themselves in a situation they hate or that makes them uncomfortable. They key is looking for the opportunities not focusing in on the limits. Have a read of Acts 16 today...it's the powerful account of Paul and Silas in prison. It's midnight and they're in a dark, cold prison after being falsely accused. Everything in me would want to moan and complain and justify how unfair the whole situation was. But when we come across these guys, they're singing hymns! It takes joy to sing. It takes trust that God has everything under control to worship. But worship refocuses your attention from the circumstance to the Saviour! When they did this they found purpose in their discomfort and changed the eternity of the jailer and his whole family...and we're miraculously set free. Today, worship God no matter what your situation. Open your eyes and look around and God will reveal the divine reason you are right here, right now!
