For we are God’s masterpiece. He has created us anew in Christ Jesus, so we can do the good things he planned for us long ago. – Ephesians 2:10, NLT
Billy Graham has conducted 417 crusades in 185 countries and territories on six continents. His first in Michigan was attended by 6,000 people. If you’re anything like me, you would be a little freaked out if you were told you were going to preach in front of 6,000 people. In fact you might even consider how you could get out of it short of faking your own death only because there might be more than 6,000 people waiting to hear you preach once word gets out that you rose from the dead. Then there are other people if given the same opportunity to preach in front of 6,000 who would not only love it but would wish for an even larger crowd.
There’s good news for both types of people. God has individualized plans for us. Not only that but He has already or is in the process of preparing you to do those very things. It gives me a lot of hope knowing that my life is not going to be measured against Billy Graham’s calling. I’m also sure Billy Graham feels the same way about not being measured against my calling.
