Know Your Role: Who God Wants Me to Be
“Rules for Finding Purpose in Life (Abigail Shrier, secular journalist): (1) Get married.
(2) Have children.
(3) Work hard.
(4) Be Principled.
(5) Don’t be bought.
(Christians would say serving God is 1st and may sometimes replace 1 and 2.)”
David Bernard

Making Lists
Anyone ever make those nice little priority lists?
You know… “1.
My relationship with God. 2. My family 3. My job...” and so forth?
Or maybe more importantly, what roles we have… “1.
Mother 2. Wife 3. Prayer Warrior 4. Teacher...”
What’s interesting is that those lists only go top down, and can actually not be that helpful.
I mean, they tell you what you already know.
Perhaps makes it a little clearer for you.
But what’s more interesting and helpful is if you put those into context.
What kind of father does God want me to be? Has my relationship with God progressed like HE wants?
And also, are these ALL of the roles that I am actually supposed to have?
Is there more that God has for me?
The Question is "What are my God-given Roles?
Who does He want me to be?"
Identifying Who God Wants Us To Be
So what needs to happen is, we need to seek God for being all that He wants us to be.
Sometimes, we are not who He wants us to be because we are simply not talking with Him.
Adam walked with God, the Bible says.
And the roles that the Lord gave him were very clear.
He was told what he should be.
If we talk to Him, He will tell us!
Other times, God tells us the roles He wants us to fill, but we back away from what God wants.
SEEK GOD AND FIND OUT WHAT HE WANTS FROM YOU.
No matter who you are tonight, or where you are in life, I know for absolute certain one role that God has bestowed upon you that you are to work in and live out...
Obstacles to Being Who God Wants You to Be
Distractions
We are sent things that have the sole purpose of distraction.
Distraction is little-recognized weapon of the enemy.
One of the worst and most common examples of this is social media.
I want to talk about this for a minute.
All of this distracts from who God wants you to be!
The Social Dilemma, Tristan Harris
The Coddling of the American Mind, Jonathan Haidt & Greg Lukianoff
Comparisons
God does not want you to be Jeff Arnold.
Or even Paul the Apostle.
He wants you to be you!
But not just you - the you that He is forming!
Stop comparing to everyone and everything else, forming insecurity - be God’s version of you!
Our Perception of Ourselves
We are our worst enemy many times.
