Wanna Take A Break From Your Destiny?

Sunday, I started watching a movie. I didn't finish it but it was an action movie where a man was called to be a "Librarian". But, he was a "special librarian". Only He could do that specific job and his job was to guard and protect precious and valuable artifacts of World History. His job required him to travel all over the world to exotic and dangerous places because there was always evil trying to steal these artifacts to use them for evil. Well, he got tired. He broke down and told his mentor that the job he had was preventing him from having a normal life. He wanted to be settled and he was tired of travel. He was BURNED OUT and he was ready to walk away. Well, he decided to 'get away' from his calling. He went to the other side of the world to get away from his life and guess what? A situation in which only he could handle met him there! He met a woman that also had a particular calling. I don't recall what it was but he asked her..."Don't you ever get tired of it? This life?" She said "NO! Of course not! It is my destiny and you cannot run from your destiny." Now, you might have not seen anything in that but I did. The gifts of God are without repentance. We are all called to do a special thing for the Kingdom of God. If we allow ourselves to get off focus, the enemy will have us to believe that we are not effective and there is more to life than the path that God has laid out for us! He will make you want to quit and give up the job God has called you to do. If you have answered God's call and begun walking in it, it's a part of you. You can't run away from it and no matter where you go...there should always be situations where your gift will enhance your surroundings. Are you gonna run the other way?(Don't be like JONAH!!) What I further saw here was that he was just tired and weary. He was burned out. If He was a Christian, his job would have been to run to God for the refreshing that he needed. Not run away from the call. We all get tired sometimes. We get discouraged, burned out, drained. We need a time of refreshing that only God can give and if we wait on him, He will send it. (Remember Elijah). We need to make sure that we are having private one on one time with the Father so He can give us the fuel we need to continue running this race. The lady in the movie had the right attitude. It was "Yes. I get tired. Yes. I get weary. Dog Gone it! Sometimes I want to quit! BUT, I won't! I can't! It is my destiny!!" I didn't finish the movie. It got kinda crazy so I turned but I felt like I got what I was supposed to get....thank you Lord for using a movie to speak to me...
