assignments

(This is Jesus talking here in chapter 9)

John 9: 4 All of us must quickly carry out the tasks assigned us by the One who sent me.

So, we can figure out some things here...

God has some things He wants us to do.

That would mean He has a plan for us & our lives.

We don't need to dilly-dally along the way. We need to be aware that we need to do, in a timely manner, whatever it is that God wants us to do.

It would follow that if we don't need to drag our feet with whatever it is God has for us to be & do, then it must be working in conjuction with other tasks other people are doing.

We can also figure out that our lives have meaning if the God of the universes has something planned out for us to do in the grand scheme of things.

And God must really love & trust sinful people like us if He put us in as an integral part of His overarching plan for humankind.

If God has a plan for us, then it stands to reason that He will provide the means for us to do it.

If He's gonna provide the means for it, then there must be other people who are being & doing stuff for Him that make it possible for us to do what we need to do.

And if He's got people making possible for us to do what we need to do, then what we do should surely do the same thing for other people - God is efficient, as well as creative.

We must be important to God.

This is just somethin' to think about...
