Hmmmm....Interesting Concept

     Hmmm.....interesting concept proposed in Experiencing God this week.  As Christians WE OFTEN CHOOSE our spiritual assignment or ministry based on our spiritual gift.  Blackaby proposes the concept that we should let God choose our spiritual assignment and then trust that the Holy Spirit will equip us with the spiritual gift we will need.

     In terms of special needs ministry, this excites me.  We have always drawn and invited people with the spiritual gift of mercy into the ministry.  How powerful would it be, however, to watch someone with very little mercy be transformed by serving in the ministry.  The Holy Spirit can do amazing things!  It would be such a testimony to the power of God.

     If you are looking for your next assignment, be open to WHATEVER God calls you to do.  The Holy Spirit will equip you.  If you are looking for more volunteers, be open to the variety of ways God will work in your ministry.  God is working in the lives of those the ministry serves, but He is also working in the lives and hearts of the volunteers.
