¡§And now, saith the Lord,
that formed me from the womb to be His servant.¡¨ Isaiah 49:5
The first thing that happens after we have realized
our election to God in Christ Jesus is the destruction of our prejudices and
our parochial notions and our patriotisms; we are turned into servants of God's
own purpose. The whole human race was created to glorify God and enjoy Him for
ever. Sin has switched the human race on to another tack, but it has not
altered God's purpose in the tiniest degree; and when we are born again we are
brought into the realization of God's great purpose for the human race, viz., I
am created for God, He made me. This realization of the election of God is the
most joyful realization on earth, and we have to learn to rely on the
tremendous creative purpose of God. The first thing God will do with us is to
¡§force through the channels of a single heart¡¨ the interests of the whole
world. The love of God, the very nature of God, is introduced into us, and the
nature of Almighty God is focused in John 3:16 ¡V ¡§God so loved the world. . .¡¨
We have to maintain our soul open to the fact of
God's creative purpose, and not muddle it with our own intentions. If we do,
God will have to crush our intentions on one side however much it may hurt. The
purpose for which the missionary is created is that he may be God's servant,
one in whom God is glorified. When once we realize that through the salvation
of Jesus Christ we are made perfectly fit for God, we shall understand why
Jesus Christ is so ruthless in His demands. He demands absolute rectitude from
His servants, because He has put into them the very nature of God.
Beware lest you forget God¡¦s purpose for your life.
