Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles. And let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us.
Hebrews 12:1 NIV
What is your calling?
That’s a question our pastor recently asked us. Then he said, “Just because you weren’t called to be a pastor doesn’t mean you won’t impact the world with the love of God in your own way.”
Whether you’re called to be a firefighter or a teacher or a stay-at-home mom, you are important. Your life means something. God called you to fulfill that special role because He had a plan for your life from the time you were in your mother’s womb. It’s powerful to realize that you’re doing exactly what you were born to do, and the devil knows this truth. That’s undoubtedly why he will do everything he can to discourage you and get you to compare yourself with others and their callings, trying to convince you that your calling is not as important. So, don’t fall for his lies. Instead, thank God for your calling and walk in it with great enthusiasm and courage. Run your race. When you do, you’ll enjoy the journey and every step toward that finish line will be purposeful.
Father, I thank You for creating me for such a time as this. Help me never to forget the importance of my calling, so that I can persevere and fulfill my divine destiny. I love You, Lord. In the mighty name of Jesus, amen.
