John’s appearance was not preferable by any means. John’s clothes were made of camel’s hair, and he had a leather belt around his waist. His diet consisted of locusts and wild honey (Matthew 3:4). John lived in the wilderness and yelled continuously about the coming Messiah. To the common man, John appeared to be a crazy person.
Although John’s appearance was disheveled and he lived away from civilization, he worked his purpose for the Kingdom of God. The anointing John possessed made people come and listen to him. Through John, numerous people were baptized and informed about Jesus Christ. To this day, John is still revered by many.
What does this mean for us? When we prioritize God, it doesn’t matter what we’ve done, where we’re at in life, or how we look. God already has our assignments settled. We just have to receive and accept our calling. We don’t need to be millionaires in order to be influential. We can influence a multitude right now. We don’t have to be 100% holy to let others know about Christ. Start now!
Whatever purpose God has placed in your heart to do for the Kingdom, start doing it now. Don’t wait until everything appears in order to start working for the Kingdom of God. Find and work your purpose for the Kingdom of God.
He said: “I am ‘The voice of one crying in the wilderness: “Make straight the way of the LORD,” ’ as the prophet Isaiah said.” (John 1:23 NKJV)
