Only You!

Moses said to the LORD, "You have been telling me, 'Lead these people,' but you have not let me know whom you will send with me. You have said, 'I know you by name and you have found favor with me.'
Exodus 33:12

When actors and actresses audition for a part, the director conducts what are known as 'call-backs'. At that point either the performer gets the part or it goes to somebody else. You know you've 'got it made', when the director offers you the part without even auditioning for it. Well, God doesn't need to do auditions and call-backs. That's because He's already designed a role just for you. Nobody else could possibly fill it or meet the requirements. You're a 'designer original' with a PhD in being yourself! Even if others were to study you endlessly, they still couldn't be you. When God says, 'I know you by name and you have found favor with Me', it means He's already chosen you for a particular role. So be careful about responding to any other call except the one that comes from Him, because good ideas aren't necessarily God ideas! Since God designed you with all the built-in qualifications you'll ever need, you don't have to compromise your convictions, pull strings, drop names or do special favors. The part is yours because you were born for it! That also means you need never be jealous of or intimidated by anybody else, no matter how talented, popular or successful they are. In God's eyes there are no other contenders. You're it! You're the only one who can fill the slot, because He created it with you in mind. Isn't that a nice, secure feeling?

Prayer
Heavenly Father, thank you for accepting me the way I am - and for having a plan for me without having to audition! In Jesus' Name, Amen
