So he brought his people out of Egypt with joy, his chosen ones with rejoicing. Psalm 105:43 NLT
How dull the movies would be if every agent had the same mission—and how predictable the outcomes! There is something inspiring in a variety of nearly impossible tasks.
The same is true for the mission given to each individual in real life. No two assignments are identical. Your assignment, should you choose to accept it, is vital.
The Bible presents multiple examples of this. First Chronicles says some were “in charge of the house of God” (9:11 NIV). Others were “responsible for ministering in the house of God” (9:13 NIV). Each family accepted their mission, and some fulfilled their mission over multiple generations.
In the book of Acts, Paul and Barnabas were appointed (15:2) to go talk with the other apostles about whether new believers needed to follow Old Testament requirements. They accepted their mission.
What’s more, the psalmist says that at the end of the mission to leave Egypt, the Lord “brought out his people with rejoicing, his chosen ones with shouts of joy” (Psalm 105:43 NIV).
The result of accepting a mission and carrying it out is the happiness and fulfillment that only God can give. After all, those who accept a mission learn almost immediately that only God makes the mission possible.
Prayer: Lord, please take the ordinary routines of my every day and use them to do the impossible in me and through me!
