We sometimes miss purpose because we are looking for it somewhere else.

Scripture Anchor

“And there was a certain disciple at Damascus, named Ananias; and to him said the Lord in a vision, Ananias. And he said, Behold, I am here, Lord.” Acts 9:10 KJV

Apostolic Insight

Ananias was not traveling the world looking for a great assignment, He was simply a disciple living in Damascus. Then God called his name.

His assignment? Go to a man named Saul. Understandably, Ananias had concerns. Everyone knew what Saul had been doing to believers.

Yet he listened, obeyed, entered the house, laid his hands upon Saul, and called him: “Brother Saul.”

Think about that.

An ordinary disciple participated in one of the most consequential moments in the early Church. The man he prayed for would become Paul.

Ananias did not write an epistle.

We have no record of him planting churches across continents. But he was available at a strategic moment in another person’s journey.

Purpose is not always measured by how many people know your name.

Sometimes your assignment is to help one person take the next step God has ordained for them.

Never underestimate being in the right place, listening to God, and obeying Him.

Ponder This

Am I overlooking the person or opportunity in front of me while searching for a larger assignment?

Declaration:

 I am available to God where I am.

 I will not despise assignments because they appear small or unseen.

Prayer of Agreement

Father, thank you for making me attentive to the opportunities You place before me.

I receive deliverance from believing that significance requires visibility.

I receive the courage to obey even when an assignment stretches me beyond what is comfortable.

Use my life to help others move forward in Your purpose.

In the matchless name of Jesus Christ, Amein.

Shalom,
Hephzibah Christly
