The Lord said to Moses, “Now the day of your death is near. Call Joshua and present yourselves at the tent of meeting, where I will commission him.” So Moses and Joshua came and presented themselves at the tent of meeting. Deuteronomy 31:14
God has a commission for you just as He had one for Joshua, just as real, just as powerful. But how do you know it and live it? Where is your Moses and your tent of meeting? How has God called you, and how do you present yourself to His call?
Here are two glimpses of your God given commission that you can look for in your life.
1. A Significant Transition
Moses' death was near. But God's mission for Israel wasn't complete. Moses needed a replacement. Joshua had proven strong and faithful throughout Israel's journeys. He and Caleb alone believed God could take them to the land of promise. If you have been faithful in following the Lord in spite of obstacles, and you are witnessing a significant transition, seek the Lord's commission.
2. A Significant Affirmation
Moses himself, a man clearly called and empowered by God, received the word of the Lord concerning Joshua's commission. Moses took Joshua to the tent of meeting and gave Joshua words from God, and from himself. In a time of significant transition, seek a significant affirmation. Be sensitive to leaders in your life and especially to what they say to you and about you in relation to the transition. These are glimpses into your God given commission.
Take your God given commission seriously, reverently seeking it until you find it. Seek it through obedience to what you already know, and through prayer.
Pray this prayer with me,
"Our Father in heaven, we seek your God given commission. If there are significant transitions and affirmations you have for me, show them to me. I only want to do what You've commissioned me to do. In Jesus name, Amen."
Now seek your God given commission with all you heart, continuing this prayer.
Let me know that the Lord shows you. Leave a comment. God bless you.
