“Whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God.” 1Co 10:31 NIV
Do it all for the glory of God (1)
When it comes to your calling, observe these two things: (1) God doesn’t call the qualified; He qualifies the called. God will call you to do something you’re not smart enough to pull off. A God-ordained dream will always be beyond your ability and resources. Why? So, you have to rely on God every single day! David said: “Unless the Lord builds the house, the builders labor in vain” (Ps 127:1 NIV). Jesus said: “If you remain in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing” (Jn 15:5 NIV). Paul said, “Not that we are competent in ourselves to claim anything for ourselves, but our competence comes from God” (2Co 3:5 NIV). (2) Instead of being critical, be creative. Often criticism is just a copout for those who are too lazy to solve the problem they are complaining about. Instead of criticizing movies or music, produce a film or an album that is better than whatever it is you’re complaining about. The most constructive criticism is called creativity. We should be more known for what we’re for than what we’re against. Anybody can point out problems. We’re called to solve them by writing better books, starting better schools, and drafting better legislation. And we are anointed to do it! “But the anointing which you have received from Him abides in you, and you do not need that anyone teach you; but as the same anointing teaches you concerning all things…and just as it has taught you, you will abide in Him” (1Jn 2:27 NKJV).
