I will work diligently to be successful in my God-given calling
“Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths.”
Everyone of us has a God-given calling, whether that is a particular calling at work, or school, or in parenting. Sometimes that is a clear calling, and sometimes we are completely confused as to where to go. But we each still have to make decisions every single day, either to move or to stand still. Sometimes we get to decide what we want, sometimes we don’t have a choice, and at times we just want God to tell us where to go.
What is clear, is that beyond the general human purpose of glorifying God, there are broad seasons or areas of life in which we live, each having different sets of responsibilities. Young to old, man or woman, single, married, or parenting, let us do our best for God in response to His sacrifice for each of us.
