Surely
the Lord GOD does nothing, unless He reveals His
secret to His servants the Prophets. -
Amos 3:7
The Bible shows
us by example that when God is about to do something,
He lets one or more of His servants know about
it in advance. He invites them to adjust their
lives to Him so He can accomplish His work through
them. God is far more interested in accomplishing
His kingdom purposes than you are. He will move
you into every assignment that He knows you are
ready for. Let God fit you into His plan. The
servant does not tell the master what kind of
assignment he wants. The servant waits on his
master for the assignment. So be patient and wait.
Let God use
the times that you are waiting to mold and shape
your character; to purify your life and make you
into a clean vessel for His service.
Anything God
asks you to do is important, even if by human
standards it does not seem important. God may
want you to do small assignments to prepare you
for bigger ones.
There are times
when God tries to get our attention by revealing
where He is at work...but we do not see it. We
may say to ourselves, “Well, I do not know
if God wants me to get involved here or not. I
better pray about it”. By the time we leave
that situation and pray, the opportunity to join
God may pass us by. Perhaps our heart was not
tender and sensitive enough. If you are going
to join God in His work, you need to be able to
identify the kinds of things God does, so you
will be able to promptly respond to His call.
The solution
to this is found in the Bible, because it tells
us some things that only God can do. When we learn
to identify the things that only God can do, and
we see them happening, then we will know that
is God is at work. That is the moment that we
are to join in.
For example,
God is at work when you see someone coming to
Christ, asking about spiritual matters, coming
to understand spiritual truth, experiencing conviction
of sin, being convinced of the righteousness of
Christ, and being convinced of judgment.
