When we are asleep we are like a bird in a cage, we do not loose our ability to fly, but our flight is restricted.
Work-to become what you are. What is trapped inside of you? Ergon is the Greek word for work. We need to find out who we are to become? What work were we created to do? An Acorn seed is to become an Oak Tree. It could try to become many things, but the only thing trapped inside of it, is an Oak Tree. That is what must come out of it. Jesus said, I work the work my Father sent me to do. Jesus did what was inside of Him. He did the work He was created to do.
I find it interesting that Ergon is measured by the equivalent heat it produces. To me that means passion. How much passion comes out of you when you do something?
Myles Monroe said, "The world tell us to get a job. The world never tells to do what brings us fulfillment." We were born to be deployed not employed. Jesus said, "Go." Jesus said, "My Father sent me..." Deployers employee others. They determine their own wealth. People that are employed complain because their gift is not activated. When we work the works for which we were created, we can’t wait to get there. If we are worn out and wearied we are not working in our gifting. Micheal Jackson said, "Singing is me. I get paid to be myself."
A job is your skill set. You're dispensable. Work is your gift. You are indispensable. Gifts go with us. It is our seed. Our future is in our seed, our gifting.

Remember, we are in 1 Samuel chapters 10 and 11 all week.
It is the Spirit’s control in our life that drives us to passionate living (10:21-22; 11:1-6a). If you want passion in your life get into the Word of God and let His Word get in you.
A Spirit-controlled person is a passionate person.
Passion transforms us from worrier to warrior. Passion opens the cage and allows us to fly.
When we are living in our passion we are driven to action by the needs of the day (11:1-4, 6b). We wake up with a God agenda not a selfish agenda.
We read that they needed to save their countrymen. That woke them up.
Once awake they needed to do more than talk about their problems, or others would find their lives scarred forever. Passion provoked them to action. God gave them a plan. He will give you one too.
As you read these scriptures, as we read yesterday, Saul was hiding out with the supplies. He was not created for that. He was in the bird cage. However, when he found his passion--he found his purpose. The cage doors swung open. Your's will too.

ACTION STEP: When we discover who God created us to be we find the true meaning for our life. We wake up excited to see what the day will bring. Sure, we will still have challenges, enemies, and yet there will be a knowing that God is with us and God is for us. Whatever it is we were created to become and do, we have a God that is on our side, helping us along the way.
I am praying as we go through this study you will find your reason for living, your reason for which you were born; that you too can work the work for which your Father sent you.
Tomorrow-Awake to Decisive Living.
