Are you embracing your mission?

How much have you thought about the mission God has for you?

I just had a great conversation with a group of our men about what it means to live with a mission.

When Christians think about ‘mission,’ they tend to think of programs, causes, or initiatives outside their everyday lives.

There's a problem with this:

It keeps us thinking about 'someone else’s' mission rather than our own.

But God's idea of mission encompasses more.

Each of us has a mission.

You have a mission.

And it’s not something abstract or “out there.”

It’s something you’re called to live out in the everyday domains God has entrusted to you.

This goes back to God's original call in the garden, and it continues into our own day.

God has equipped you with gifts and prepared good works for you to fulfill.

As Paul puts it:

“... we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them.” (Eph. 2:10)

God didn’t make you to sit on the sidelines watching other people fulfill their missions.

He expects you to partake in His larger mission by faithfully carrying out your own.

Consider the domains of your life—your marriage, your family, your work, your community.

Look at the gifts God has given you and the opportunities right in front of you.

Then deploy them with a mission to advance His kingdom--right where He has you.

You don't have to leave your normal life to possess a mission.

And discovering that is what gives you reason to get out of bed every day.
