Anointed to...

The questions of life draw people into important questions about where I belong, do I matter, is there any meaning greater than just what I can see. The atheist seem to proclaim: you live, you die, you rot, who cares. As CS Lewis would probably put it, the fact that so many people want to know if there is a greater meaning is evidence itself that there is. Enter Isaiah 61..The Lord has anointed me to... There is a task that matters greatly for all eternity. To... bring good news, bind up the broken, proclaim freedom to captives and prisoners, comfort those who mourn. A friend of mine has a great song he wrote. The chorus proclaims a thankfulness to Jesus for giving us "Hope and a Home." My prayer is that we would root ourselves in God's family, know hope, and grasp the idea of the great anointing God himself has blessed us with to be a part of the greatest tasks we've been commissioned for.

Isaiah 61:1-3
