RHEMA 2/6/95: CHOSEN

PARABLE: I had been chosen as one of the candidates to design/ set a manual for highschool teachers that was offered through a state grant. Today I received an answer to my request. I had passed all the hurdles and was the one chosen to do the project. But they never said a word to me about my proposal or how I did. I had put many hours into it and wanted more specific feed back so I asked the Lord for them to give it to me. The way He answered it is very funny.

I received a contract from the state that had to be filled out in order for me to get paid, as the money was coming from a grant. I found in it, an explanation from the university as to how they decided to choose me. It was packed with explanation and I was very pleased. I also was laughing that the Lord answered exactly what I'd asked. The document was logically detailed and specific. Nothing gushy, or warm fuzzy like... but very detailed as to their need and the whole process of my culling. As I was still laughing about it when later I heard: "Test results." (I guess I got an A!)

The project was a teaching manual for a pilot teaching program that the university created to go out to a bunch of highschools. After the first year if it proved successful, it would become a textbook and a class for all. This program helped the students identify who they were and thus make better choices for their future as adults. I felt this was a real parable to my calling in equipping others to find their gifts and callings in the Lord.

WORD TO PONDER 2/6/95: CHOSEN AND CONFIRMED

My scribe, you have worked hard to pass many tests. They have qualified you to pilot a plan that will eventually be used to help My children find their destinies in Me. You have not openly been given endorsement via men, but I will bring the confirmations you need for you to understand you have not been rejected, but rather have been chosen for My end time work.

“Servants, be obedient to them that are your masters according to the flesh, with fear and trembling, in singleness of your heart, as unto Christ; Not with eyeservice, as menpleasers; but as the servants of Christ, doing the will of God from the heart; With good will doing service, as to the Lord, and not to men.” (Eph 6:5-7 KJV)
