Our Job Description

“But, indeed, for this reason I have allowed you to remain, in order to show you My power and in order to proclaim My name through all the earth.” (Exodus 9:16)

Have you ever worked for a boss who never told you what he really wanted you to do? That can be frustrating. I think many Christians live their lives with the same frustration. Some folks really have no clue what God expects. When Moses was trying to convince Pharaoh to “let My people go,” Pharaoh just didn’t get it. Here’s what I think our job description is in a nutshell: Glorify God by becoming like Jesus. Glorifying God is what was expected of Pharaoh and what’s expected of us (Isa. 43:7, 1 Cor. 10:31). The only way to do that today is by following Jesus, who was the only One who actually glorified God completely (Jn. 17:4, Jn. 14:6, 1 Jn. 2:6). It’s a lot easier to do a job right when you know what‘s expected.

100% and Then Some

The Army Navigators Centurion Prayer Team (21 people of 100 prayed yesterday)

Father help us to trust deeply in Your grace that has made us perfect in Your sight through the shed blood of Your Son. But also help us obey You out of a deep appreciation for the position of perfection You have placed us in. (Staff: Mark and Jennifer Read, Brandon and Jeneil Russell)

100% and Then Some

“Therefore you are to be perfect, as your heavenly Father is perfect.” (Matthew 5:48)

The Ranger Creed says that “I will shoulder more than my share of the task whatever it may be, one-hundred-percent and then some.” How can one give more than a hundred percent? It’s an impossibility and yet it encapsulates an attitude of commitment and thoroughness. But if you think that’s impossible, wait till you hear what Jesus has to say, “Be perfect like God.” How could anyone reach perfection? Actually, it’s is very possible. And it’s more than just and attitude. When we receive Jesus Christ as our Lord and entrust our lives to Him, He gives us the righteousness of God Himself. “He made Him who knew no sin to be sin on our behalf, so that we might become the righteousness of God in Him”(2 Corinthians 5:21). Although we may not act like it, the mantle of perfection is placed on us in Christ.
