Have I lost sight of God’s authority and plan for my life?  Do the current, past or fear of future circumstantial occurrences curb my faith in God’s participation in my victory?  How do I view God?  Is it relevant that my relationship with God is based upon the Bible, yet doesn’t seem to match many of my fellow Christians?  What makes me go to God in prayer?  Is it dilemma, prayers for courage, relief, hope or have I become a master of intercessory prayer for the world and for others?  What brings me peace?  Is it prayer or some type of sufficiency relief, when my needs are met either financially, emotionally or spiritually?  Do I go from problem to solution or problem to problem expecting someone to set me free?

God is the perfect manager.  He intimately knows, understands and plans for the ideal usage and timing of each person’s gifts.  There is never a time when He leaves talent on the table, maximizing the efficient deployment and incorporation of all energy, talent, time and treasure.  Here’s the kicker; to His good pleasure and glory.  His plan may be different than each of ours, His valuation of my greatest talent may be completely different than my own.  He knows what I have and when to perfectly employ my abilities to achieve the maximum effect in His plan for humanity and the Kingdom.  There are however contributing factors; my level of volunteerism, my pride and my capacity to put myself aside.  The Father is an awesome boss, but He is also my Father and wants me to become an adult, prepared, confident and governed by discerning grace and self control.  He will not lead me into a circumstance for which I am entirely unprepared and this preparation is the variable of the equation for which I am partially responsible.  I must study, dedicate, maintain vigilance and courage to be ready for the tasks when they are imminently assigned.  In the end, if I remain steadfast in my trust of the Lord’s faithfulness to complete that which He first began in my sanctification, then I will achieve my maximum efficacy in His plan and subsequently the highest allowable performance level in my own life.  For the creator knows best how the machinery must be properly employed.  I do not even now know the limits of my ability, I would imagine that God will continue to surprise me with the things He allows me to do through His strength, His bounty, His authority and grace.

Praise God in all His majesty, mercy and sovereignty, that through it all He never forgets for a moment who each of us was meant to be and become.  Jesus, the King of Kings and Lord of Lords.
