To these four young men God gave knowledge and proficiency in all literature and science… – Daniel 1:17

I was recently tasked to handle our marketing department aside from production, which I already head. It’s most likely a temporary assignment because, I must confess, I don’t know the first thing about marketing. I’ve never done it in my career and never even took a subject on it in college.

But I accepted the position, trusting that my boss, who has extensive managerial experience, sees something in me to get the job done. I also accepted the task in faith, believing that the Lord equips those whom He calls. It’s not the first time that the Lord has called me to do something I know nothing about.

When I offered my life to Him as His servant, I gave Him the liberty to put me where He needs me — whether it’s something I know how to do or not. Consequently, I’ve served in so many varied ways that have expanded my experience and skills.

Even before I could get deep into the marketing book I was reading, the Lord sent the perfect person for the job. I told you, He equips those whom He calls. But oftentimes, He calls those whom He already equipped. Rissa Singson-Kawpeng

REFLECTION:
“Trust in the Lord with all your heart; on your own intelligence rely not; In all your ways be mindful of him, and he will make straight your paths.” (Proverbs 3:5-6)

Lord, grant me the knowledge and proficiency I need to serve You where You have called me. Amen.
