I read part of an interview that Lee Strobel did with a guy named Viggo Olsen. Viggo is a brilliant surgeon who has all of these titles to add on after his name, "M.S., M.D., Litt.D., D.H., F.A.C.S., F.I.C.S., D.T.M.&H." Viggo and his wife were athiests, but his parents were Christians. They'd get together and have long discussions about God, which finally made Viggo and his wife so frustrated that they decided to read throught he Bible and right down all of the scientific errors that they found in the Bible as a way to disprove it. Ironically, it was this attempt to disprove the Bible, and therefore God, that made them realize that science, which they had put all of their trust in, lead them to a belief in God. They ended up becoming missionaries in Bangladesh where they founded a hospital and started 120 churches.
When recounting the years of hardship in an undeveloped country like Bangladesh he had this to say. "It was the greatest adventure we could ever have. When you're in a hard place, when you're over your head again and again, when you're sinking and beyond yourself and praying your heart out-then you see God reach out, and touch your life, and resolve the situation beyond anything you could have ever hoped. We got to experience that again and again and again. We wouldn't have missed it for the world. In my opinion, finding the purpose for which God made you-whatever that may be-and then fully pursuing it is simply the very best way to live."
I couldn't agree more. Find the purpose God made you for and pursue it with everything you've got. And just like Viggo experienced, our purpose is much greater thananything we could ever accomplish on our own. We have to rely full upon God for the provision of everything we need. When doing what God has called us to do we will run out of resources, strength, opportunity, and ability. When we realize that we are utterly incapable of the great things God has laid out for us, and plead for Him to step into the situation and glorify Himself, He is faithful. He will always provide for us.
If you are in a situation where you need God's miraculous provision then cry out to Him. If you are in a situation where you don't need God's miraculous provision, then you aren't where you should be. Find out what it is that God has called you to do. It will be something you can't do on your own, and you will need to count on God to make it happen.
