The Word For You Today
Monday October 27
“God’s gifts and His call are irrevocable…” Ro 11:29 AMPC
Are you confused about your calling? (1)
If you’re questioning your calling, author Diane Paddison identifies two thought patterns that may be sabotaging your thinking. (1) It’s all about you. Your calling isn’t about self-fulfillment; it’s about submission to God’s will for your life. Many people experience satisfaction from exercising their God-given gifts. But it’s a result of being in God’s will, not the goal. To discern God’s will, you must develop your relationship with Him through prayer and Bible study. You must also develop relationships with peers and mentors who will pray for you and speak truth into your life. (2) If it’s uncomfortable, it can’t be your calling. Knowing what you’re meant to be doing is often just the start of a long, demanding journey. Some of the most successful people in history endured overwhelming failure in pursuit of their paths. Moses’ calling didn’t seem all that wonderful to him. His response? “Who am I that I should go?” He questioned God, but God responded, “I will be with you.” Still, Moses continued to question: “But what if they don’t believe me?” Even when God provided him with miraculous signs, they weren’t enough. He came back with, “But I’m slow of speech.” Clearly Moses was called to a task God designed for him—and it didn’t feel good to him. Moses tried every way he knew to prove to God that He had the wrong man for the job. And when that didn’t work, he asked God to send someone else! (See Ex 4). Can you relate? If so, keep this thought in mind: Discomfort doesn’t automatically mean you’re on the wrong path. The truth is discomfort usually precedes growth.
