What is your mission?
Give me a minute to answer.
“Mission is God”
This was the answer given by a military friend when I asked the question,
“What is the most important order when in combat?”
The answer,
“Mission is God.”
I think of that remark often. When I consider what you or I or anyone does, our mission, our direct order for whatever it is we do, should be our focus. If I only think of the small part I play in God’s mission, I can feel overwhelmed, sometimes, defeated. But when I think of my mission within the larger mission, I think of what Paul said in Acts 26.22,
“I stand here testifying to both small and great, saying nothing but what Moses and the prophets have said.”
What I’ve been given to do by God in my time and place is my mission.
Thanks for spending this minute with me, Dr. Mark Eckel.
