Scripture:
Genesis 10:8-12
Cush was the
father of Nimrod, who became a mighty warrior on the earth. 9 He
was a mighty hunter before the Lord; that is why it is said,
“Like Nimrod, a mighty hunter before the Lord.” 10 The
first centers of his kingdom were Babylon, Uruk, Akkad and
Kalneh, in Shinar. 11 From that land he
went to Assyria, where he built Nineveh, Rehoboth Ir, Calah 12 and
Resen, which is between Nineveh and Calah—which is the great city.
In Genesis 10:8-12, we read that Nimrod was a
mighty hunter who accomplished the building of an empire. He was called
"mighty before the Lord" for his skill and accomplishments.
For what do you want to be known as being
"mighty before the Lord"? What skills has He given you? What
situation has He placed you in? What can you accomplish in life to be known as
"mighty before the Lord"?
If you use the talents God has given you to the
best of your ability, God might see you as being a "mighty mother before
the Lord" or a "mighty winner of souls" before the Lord or
"a mighty home remodeler before the Lord."
Notice that Nimrod's mightiness wasn't accredited
to anything spiritual he did. Our mightiness before the Lord doesn't have to be
spiritual only. If you're using what God has given you to the best of your
abilities and in good conscience, He will take pleasure in you using what He's
given you.
So, do what you do best to the glory of God and
know that He calls you "mighty before the Lord."
