Purpose Over Panic: Embracing Your Call During CrisisMuestra

Can you imagine the horror any mother would face if she knew that an order had been given to kill all sons after just giving birth to a boy? As the chief Egyptian midwife, Jochebed could have resorted to diving into deep depression or despair. Yet, Jochebed used her call to help save not only her son but the sons of other Jewish mothers. If you get hold of this story, many of you are the spiritual midwives for others. While we see this played out in the natural, there is so much spiritual content in this story alone. Her commitment to her purpose saved lives and preserved the exodus of the Israelite people. Can you imagine serving as a spiritual midwife to a person who pioneers the next great spiritual revolution that wins millions of souls for Christ? That is an exciting thought! Jochebed could have given up amid the mass panic, yet she clung to faith and lived out her purpose. Who knows, we might have missed the triumphant entry into the Promised Land without her. 

Prayer:

Dear Lord, it is in you that we live, we move, and we have our being! Give us the faith and fortitude to ground our roots in you when everything around us is blowing with the wind. You have set us apart and chosen us to fulfill an amazing purpose on earth. Despite the difficulties of today, You still have a remnant reserved that honors You and Your word. Help us to see the importance of our purpose and how important it is for us to touch the lives of those we are called to impact. Let us not grow weary in well-doing, and help us on this earth to empty of all that You have placed inside of us. In Christ's name, Amen!
