Irrevocable

Are you seeking something solid to hold on to? Do you wish you could find something that will never go away? Do you long for some permanency in your life? Are you looking for something that is unchanging? Do you know you can have it?

We don’t really like change. We want things to remain the same forever…as long as things are good. We like our routines. We do things the same way every day. It makes us comfortable. Then…something happens that throws them into disarray.

Yet, we know the only thing constant is change. Each day is a new day. Sometimes, we look forward to there being a new day, a fresh start. Those are the days we hope for something better after having had a bad day. We look forward to change when something bad has happened.

There are some things that will not change. When God gifts us with something, he does not take it back. The gift is ours to keep. It may be a gift of strength, courage, quick wit, quick learning, intelligence, understanding, and many more. When God gives us gifts for our lives, he gives them to us for the length of our lives.

God also calls us. He may call us to ministry, volunteering to help others, teaching, serving, leading, coordinating, comforting, and many other callings. God doesn’t stop calling us. He continues to invite us to join him in carrying out the work he has planned.

We may feel a tug in a specific direction. That is God calling. We may recognize specific talents or skills we have. Those are God’s gifts. What are we to do? Answer God’s calling using the gifts he has blessed us with. When we do, we find ourselves where we are supposed to be doing the things we are supposed to do.

I pray we all recognize the gifts God has blessed us with. I pray we answer God’s call for our lives. I pray each one of us will use our gifts to work along with God and find ourselves satisfied. Recognize your gifts. Answer God’s call. Be where you are supposed to be. Do what you are supposed to do. Be satisfied. Trust God’s plan.

Romans 11:34 for the gifts and the calling of God are irrevocable.
