Rarely does God anoint someone in front of a great assembly like Solomon was. (I Chronicles 29:22) Most times our Divine calling comes in the middle of our daily routine with no fanfare and certainly no large crowds. When Elijah anointed his successor, Elisha, the young man was out in the field plowing… minding his own business. (I Kings 19:16-21) But God had a much higher work for him to do, and so Elisha was separated, consecrated, and empowered right there in the middle of the field with no one else around except for him and Elijah. When God calls and sets apart someone, He doesn’t need an audience’s approval…and He certainly doesn’t need us getting all puffed up with self-pride for something we’ve had absolutely nothing to do with. That’s because our anointing is for service to others, as we joyfully bear witness to the saving grace of God…not for vanity purposes.
