Yesterday I
was driving home from in town and I saw on the back of truck the phrase “Just
Passing Through”.  It was painted very
professionally and quite artistic, with script fonts and a cross graphic. In
difficult times I want to “Amen” that statement, but yesterday was quite different,
I actually got a little roused up about it. I am not just passing through and
neither are you. Just passing through implies no responsibility. Not stopping,
not passing go, not collecting 200 dollars. Were just passing through.

You know
God has specifically created each one of us for this time. As Esther said, “For
such a time as this”. We have been created meticulously and special for this
hour of the world, and God has so chosen us and sent us here to complete a
task, or mission if you will.

Take NASA
for example. When they need to complete a task on the moon or in space they
choose special people… the right people for the job. They prepare the way for
them to get there, the suits for them to survive and the tools to get the job
done. The abilities for them to complete the mission were given them before
they even got into space.

God has
chosen special people… the right people for this job on earth. He sent us here,
gave us earth suits to live here and has provided us the tools to get the job
done. And what is so awesome is that he had already given us the abilities to
complete the mission. Jeremiah 1:5 says that before I formed you in the womb, I
knew you; before you were born I sanctified you.

You know
even NASA doesn’t leave their astronauts on their own while in space. If
something goes wrong or mistakes are made, NASA will do everything possible to
help fix the problem, even help them repair their suit. Otherwise they could
not complete their mission. It’s NASA’s mission not the astronauts.

We
are here on God’s earth for His mission to be accomplished not ours. If your
suit is damaged, he has made provision for it to be fixed. Psalms 103:1-5 and I
Peter 2:24. If not you can’t complete your mission, you will have to return
home. We get all caught up in things of this life, but if we view our life as a
mission like the astronauts view their time in space. We will have a much
better perspective on why we are here. 2 Timothy 4:5 says to be watchful in all
things and fulfill your ministry!
