Peek inside God’s recruiting office. You won’t find Fortune 500 CEOs or Olympic champions waiting for their assignments. Instead, God often chooses the most unlikely people for His biggest missions. It’s like He’s running a “Biggest Loser” contest, but the prize isn’t a slimmer waistline—it’s a chance to turn the world upside down. “But God chose what is foolish in the world to shame the wise; God chose what is weak in the world to shame the strong.” (1 Corinthians 1:27 ESV)

1. Embrace Your Weakness. The first step on this journey is acknowledging you’re not all that. It may sound harsh, but it’s freeing. God doesn’t need perfection; He’s looking for persistence. When He calls, He’s not evaluating your qualifications—He’s checking your willingness. If you can say, “I’m not that great, and that’s okay,” you’re ready for God to work through you. “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” (2 Corinthians 12:9 ESV)

2. Be Flexible with God’s Plan. Your well-mapped-out life? God might fold it into something completely different. That five-year plan? In His hands, it could become a thrilling adventure. The key is to hold your plans loosely and your faith tightly. When God says “jump,” don’t ask “how high?”—ask “where to?” “The heart of man plans his way, but the Lord establishes his steps.” (Proverbs 16:9 ESV)

3. Focus on Transformation, Not Just Tasks. God doesn’t just call you to do something; He’s shaping you into someone. It’s not about the destination—it’s about who you become along the way. The challenges and detours you face are where real growth happens. “We are being transformed into the same image from one degree of glory to another.” (2 Corinthians 3:18 ESV)

4. Recognize Your Impact on Others. This journey isn’t just about you. Every step you take is connected to others who need what you’re learning and becoming. That unexpected skill or connection could be exactly what someone else has been praying for. “Let each of you look not only to his own interests, but also to the interests of others.” (Philippians 2:4 ESV)

5. Trust God with the Journey. When God rewrites your script, don’t grip the wheel in fear. Trust Him and enjoy the ride. Your detour could be someone else’s answered prayer. “Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding.” (Proverbs 3:5-6 ESV)

Friend, are you ready to let God rewrite your script? Buckle up—this ride is going to be wild!
