I sometimes find myself in places and wonder what I am doing there. I used to fly a lot on business and since someone else made the arrangements, I would wind up confused about certain details of the trip. In addition, I think that we all go through times when we wonder what our purpose is in doing what we are doing. We question whether there is some grand scheme to where we are and what we are doing.
Judges 13:3-5 says, “And the angel of the Lord appeared to the woman and said to her, ‘Behold, you are barren and have not borne children, but you shall conceive and bear a son. Therefore be careful and drink no wine or strong drink, and eat nothing unclean, for behold, you shall conceive and bear a son. No razor shall come upon his head, for the child shall be a Nazirite to God from the womb, and he shall begin to save Israel from the hand of the Philistines.'” When circumstances seem impossible to overcome, God begins to do His best work. From a barren woman, God formed Samson to lead His people. God has formed each of us to do great works in His name. We have the responsibility to hear and obey His call upon our lives.
