But if we hope for that we see not, then do we with patience wait for it – Romans 8:25
When we align Ephesians 2:10 — “For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them” — alongside 1 Peter 4:10: “As every man hath received the gift, even so minister the same one to another, as good stewards of the manifold grace of God,” we can conclude that God has purposed each one of us for service. We need only seek divine guidance to discern our gift and where He’s designed it to be used.
Seeing ourselves as instruments God desires to use makes the wait a necessary part of the preparation to fulfill our assignment. Therefore, we can look forward to our baton’s arrival with patience and enthusiasm.
