Calling Where Do I Start?

Calling

Where Do I Start?

Calling or Purpose we all question from time to time

“Am I doing the right thing?”

“Am I where I ought to be?”

These questions can drive us or depress us

If you are one who questions your Calling?

If you wonder if you are where you ought to be?

If you feel like you are in a search for your Purpose? 

You are in a great place

Your heart is tender and you care about life and the future

You are now in position to understand the answer to

“What is my Purpose, my Calling?”

Where Do I Start?

Calling or Purpose…

 We all question from time to time.

 “Am I doing the right thing?”

“Am I where I ought to be?”

These questions can drive us

Or, depress us.

Growing up in the church

 and being a preacher…

 I realize Christians hear a

lot of motivational speaking.

Whether you are in a meeting

 where everybody comes to the altar

or there is no altar call at all,

or something in between…

 Most messages in church

are calling us to something.

I personally think it is good

to examine ourselves daily.

Like the Psalmist…

  

Search me, O God, and know my heart;

 test me and know my anxious thoughts.

See if there is any offensive way in me,

and lead me in the way everlasting.

Psalm 139:23-24

The question of…

 “Am I living out my Purpose and

walking out my Calling?”

Is further fed by Scriptures

like 2 Corinthians 13:5&6…

Examine yourselves to see whether

you are in the faith; test yourselves.
Do you not realize that Christ Jesus is in you

— unless, of course, you fail the test?

And I trust that you will discover

that we have not failed the test.

And 2 Peter 1:10&11…

Therefore, my brothers, be all the more

eager to make your calling and election sure.

For if you do these things, you will never fall,

 and you will receive a rich welcome into the

eternal kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

We see in Scripture, and in life,

people doing great things.

 Although it is not wise to compare ourselves

with others, they do provoke us to a godly jealousy.

If you are one who questions your Calling?

If you wonder if you are where you ought to be?

If you feel like you are in a search for your Purpose?

 

You are in a great place.

Your heart is tender and you

care about life and the future.

View these questions as a start to your

future, not an end of missing the mark.

The Call of God is greater

than the Call to Repentance.

The Call of God is bigger

than a one and done.

The Call of God touches

every aspect of your life.

As your life is ongoing, so is

the Call and Purpose of your life.

So if you are questioning,

pat yourself on the back.

Your questions are a prayer that says…

“Dear Lord I want more.

I want to be all you would have me to be.

I know I am weak by the lack of change

in my life and the world around me.

  So humbly I seek Your strength.

In order that whatever I do

I do it as unto you.

A-Men”

You are now in position

to understand the answer to…

“What is my Purpose, my Calling?”
