What have you been called to do? Have you given it serious thought? Have you been able to discern your purpose in life? Have you ever wondered what it is? Do you know that God is calling you to something special? Would you like to know what he is calling you to?
Each of us has a specific set of knowledge, skills, and abilities. We were blessed with our skills and abilities by God. We gain knowledge through study and because God has blessed us to learn. Therefore, every knowledge, skill, and ability are blessings for a purpose.
Many of us go through life without knowing what God’s purpose for us is. Our first purpose and top priority is to worship God. Yet, God has another purpose for us that furthers his will in this world. For us to know what that purpose is, we need to ask God to reveal it to us. Once revealed, we can take on that purpose.
God won’t necessarily tell us as he did Jeremiah. God specifically told Jeremiah what he was calling him to. Jeremiah was to be a prophet. He was to take God’s word to the nations. He was to speak Gods word to the kings of Israel and Judah. Jeremiah was to let people across the many nations of his time as well as the nations of the future what God was planning and that it would be fulfilled.
We may not be called to the same task as Jeremiah. We may think our task is less important than Jeremiah’s. Yet, every piece of the puzzle must be put in place for the entire picture to be seen. Though some tasks seem more important, all are equally required to complete the work God has planned for this world.
I pray we all seek to hear God’s call for us. I pray we grasp our knowledge, skills, and abilities. I pray each one of us takes on accomplishing whatever task God gives us to further his work in this world. Hear God’s call. Know what you can do. Accomplish the task God gives you.
Jeremiah 1:4-5
Now the word of the Lord came to me saying,
“Before I formed you in the womb I knew you,
and before you were born I consecrated you;
I appointed you a prophet to the nations.”
