Define Your Path - Intern Lesson

Define Your Path
Intern Meeting

Not every teacher should be a principle.
Not every carpenter should lead a crew.
Not every musician should conduct an orchestra.
Promotions might promote a person right out of his or her sweet spot.

For the love of more, we might lose our purpose.

Just because a king gives you armor, you don’t have to wear it. David didn’t. When he volunteered to go mano a mano with Goliath, King Saul tried to clothe the shepherd boy with the soldier’s armor. After all, Goliath stood over nine feet tall. He wore a bronze helmet and a 125-pund coat of mail. He bore bronze leggings and carried a javelin and a spear with a 15lb head (1 Sam. 17:4-7). And David? David had a slingshot. This is a VW Bug playing chicken with an eighteen-wheeler, a salmon daring the grizzly to bring it on. When Saul saw David, pimpled, and Goliath, rippled, he did what any Iron Age king would do. “Saul gave David his own armor – a bronze helmet and a coat of mail” (1Sam. 17:38).

But David refused it. Look at this wise young man. “David put it on, strapped the sword over it, and took a step or two to see what it was like , for he had never worn such things before. ‘I can’t go in these,’ he protested. ‘I’m not used to them.’ So he took them off again” (v 39).

David rejected he armor, selected the stones, lobotomized the giant, and taught us a powerful lesson: what fits others might not fit you. Just because someone gives you advice, a job, or a promotion, you don’t have to accept it. Let your uniqueness define your path of life. “You, LORD, give perfect peace to those who keep their purpose firm and put their trust in you” (Isa. 26:3).

Core Development

Core Development are classes that are equal to college classes but have no credit value. Each ESOM student will be required to go through these classes throughout the program.

At the core of every human are six areas that we must focus attention on. Inside every human is the inner person that needs development. We must not ignore those areas, they need to be examined, focused and reworked into who God has built us to be. After going through these areas of development it is the goal to help you build value into your life to be more proficient in your existence.
