my mission

The Spirit of the LORD God is upon me; because the LORD
hath anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek; he
hath sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them
that are bound; to proclaim the acceptable year of the LORD, and the day of vengeance of our God; to comfort all
that mourn; to appoint unto them that mourn in Zion, to
give unto them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning,
the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; that
they might be called trees of righteousness, the planting of
the LORD, that he might be glorified.

ISAIAH 61:1-3 (KJV)

Have you ever questioned what God would have you do in your life? I ask often: “God, show me Your way so that I can walk in it.” Isaiah 61:1-3 really stuck out one day as I read my devotional. Christ has called me to preach His Word to the humble and the broken, and He has anointed me to do it. God has commanded me to show sinners that they can be freed from their internal prison and tell them that Jesus is the only key that will unlock the chains. Many times Christ has allowed me to do this, but it is only by His grace and strength that I can speak about Him. It is truly His anointing. At the end of these verses, the Lord makes it clear who we should do this for … HIM! All the glory belongs to God. Today, pray for your friends, family, and others that you will be able to speak to them about your mission in life—Jesus.

Lord, give me a desire for Your will.
Show me Your Way so that I can walk in it.
