Isaiah 41:9-10 

You may say, I’m not in the military, not the government military, but you are called to service when you accept Jesus, as Lord of your life . And most service members are not always aware of the big picture when sent on assignments, we as disciples are also asked to step out without reasons and explanations. You must trust your commander (God).

It is helpful to view our circumstances through the lens of Scripture. 

Isaiah 41:9-10

I have called you back from the ends of the earth, saying,

‘You are my servant.’
For I have chosen you
  
and will not throw you away. Don’t be afraid, for I am with you. Don’t be discouraged, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you. I will hold you up with my victorious right hand.

Following orders is one thing, but trusting God to help us complete our mission and fulfill our God-given purpose is another. But God’s Word assures us that we are chosen for the task at hand and equipped by God.
