My situation does not limit or define God’s call on me, or my ability to follow and walk with him. Rather, the state of my heart is what He is interested in.
=======================
Scripture
1 Corinthians 8:24
“Brothers and sisters, each person, as responsible to God, should remain in the situation they were in when God called them.”
Observation
God calls people from every situation to redeem them. His power and redemption result in a change in the state of their heart, but not always an immediate change in their situation. That external force is never enough to limit or restrict the power of God though.
Application
There are situations in my life that I may view as a limitation or restriction. Whether social, economic, relational, or anything else–my situation does not limit or define God’s call on me, or my ability to follow and walk with him. Rather, the state of my heart is what He is interested in.
As I fully surrender my heart to God, he is able to use me for his glory within my present situation–until such time as he may see fit to release me from it. Whatever my situation may be, I must trust God and allow him to continue his transformation within and through me.
Prayer
God, thank you that your power is not limited by any situation, constraint, or restriction in my circumstance. Thank you for the ability to serve you through every situation, and help me to trust you and fully surrender my heart to you.
As I surrender my heart to you, I pray that you would use me to affect each situation in my life for your glory.
