Impressions ....to Ponder on? These 'writings'represent the "person behind the eyes" These are merely 'Glimpses in my Soul' of some of the things I do treasure, & care for.... Breathings of my Heart..' Die oorsprong hiervan kom uit 'n verskeidenheid van bronne. Enersyds is dit herinneringe oor 'wat belangrik is', -vir eie gebruik. Andersyds kan andere wat dit van waarde vind ook dit hulle s'n maak.Type TOPIC in, -below at "Search"

Always a Job Vacancy..........in God's order
Is it not in essence all about........
"Give me the "want-to-be what God want me to be......." &
"The want-to-do what God want me to do",
-using the gifts and abilities God has given to me in serving Him....?"
Contradictory to the reality of circumstances in South Africa where more than half of the population find it difficult to have a sustainable 'Job' & subsequent income, -in God's order there is 'a job'/'work' for everyone to do....
He doesn't call many to be a "Billy Graham or a Mother Teresa," but he does call all of us to be faithful in using the gifts and abilities he has given to EACH of us.
I'm a sheppard/ (Skaapwagter).....
In case we don't feel worthy to be of much use to God, it can help to look at the "frailties" of many of God's servants in the Bible:
I want to point out (in an inexhaustible list of examples), that.......
... Moses stuttered;
... David's armor didn't fit;
... John Mark was rejected by Paul;
... Hosea's wife was a prostitute;
... Amos' only training was in the school of fig-tree pruning;
... Jacob was a liar;
... David had an affair;
... Solomon was too rich;
... Abraham was too old;
... David was too young;
... Timothy had ulcers;
... Peter was afraid of death;
... Lazarus was dead;
... John was self-righteous;
... Jesus was 'too poor';
... Naomi was a widow;
... Paul was a murderer....So was Moses;
... Jonah ran from God;
... Miriam was a gossiper;
... Gideon and Thomas both doubted;
... Jeremiah was depressed & suicidal;
... Elijah was burned out.
... John the Baptist was a loudmouth;
... Martha was a worry-wart;
... Samson had long hair;
... Noah got drunk;
... Did I mention that Moses had a short fuse?
... So did Peter as did Paul."
True.............., we all have areas of weakness and have experienced failure at some level, but God will still use every one who makes him or herself available to God.
So let's be sure we are serving God by faithfully using the gifts and talents he has given to each of us.
It's a great privilege and a great opportunity—plus it has eternal rewards....!
Shalom & Maranatha
