Necessity is Laid Upon Me

1 Corinthians 9:16 "For though I preach the gospel, I have nothing to glory of: for necessity is laid upon me; yea, woe is unto me, if I preach not the gospel!"

Here Paul is looking back on the preaching that he has done. He's trying to make clear to the church that what he has done is not something to be put up on a pedestal as an unattainable goal. But rather what he has done is what he was called to do and therefore, empowered by the Holy Spirit, he just did it!

Is there something in my life that I know God has laid upon me to do? It's not something I'd merely like to do, but there is a necessity to do it. What is that one thing that I know I must do in this life for Christ?
