Completion

When God wants a task done, he supplies the guidance and power necessary for the willing servant to accomplish the task. These are times we view the Holy Spirit as very active.  "Then the Spirit of the LORD came upon Jephthah. He crossed Gilead and Manasseh, passed through Mizpah of Gilead, and from there he advanced against the Ammonites." - Jdg. 11:29 (NIV). Surprising as it may seem, God needs our permission to use us to accomplish these tasks since He allows us to be responsible for our actions. Even Mary was given the opportunity to agree to be the mother of the Son of God, "And Mary said, “Behold, I am the servant[a] of the Lord; let it be to me according to your word.  And the angel departed from her." - Lk. 1:38 (ESV). When we accept responsibility and follow His guidance, we are given direction and power to overcome any obstacles encountered.
