God sovereignly assigns tasks as he will

“And they came to John and said to him, ‘rabbi, he who was with you beyond the Jordan, to whom you have testified—behold, he is baptizing, and all are coming to him!’ John answered and said, ‘a man can receive nothing unless it has been given to him from Heaven. . . . He must increase, but I must decrease.’ ” (John 3:26–27, 30).

Paul wrote in Romans 12:6: “having then gifts differing according to the grace that is given to us, let us use them.”

John Oxenham wrote:

Is your place a small place?

Tend it with care!—

He set you there.

Is your place a large place?

Guard it with care!—

He set you there.

Whate’er your place, it is

Not yours alone, but his

Who set you there!
