Who are you? (1)
'He fashions...hearts individually.' PSALM 33:15
Ever wish you were better at footie? Ever wished you were more confident? Better at drawing or handy with a computer? Well don't be too hard on yourself, maybe you're just not created to be that type of person. Maybe, there's some special assignment in life that only you can do. Maybe, the world won't be the same unless you get a particular job done. You see, God 'personally formed and made' you (Isaiah 43:7 TM). You're the only 'you' He created, so if you fail to be who you are meant to be, His kingdom won't benefit from your unique contribution.
The question is: Who are you? Before you answer it, ask yourself this: 'What am I good at?' Are there certain jobs that come easily to you and you wonder why others can't do them? If so, that says something about your particular strengths and your God-given assignment in life.
God said of Bezalel the builder, 'I have filled him with... wisdom...He is a master craftsman, expert in working with gold, silver, and bronze. He is skilled in engraving...mounting gemstones...carving wood' (Exodus 31:3-5 NLT).
Bez might have had two left feet at footy, but he had a grip on what he was good at. Once you've got a grip on what you can do and what you can't, go for it! 'Fix your eyes on what lies before you...Don't get sidetracked' (Proverbs 4:25-27 NLT).
