Why do you do what you do? Is it a job or a calling from God? If you do what you do because it a means for security, it is a job. If you do what you do because you “feel the pleasure of God”, it is a calling. We get a job. We discover calling. At jobs, we make money. At calling, we make a difference. A job is chosen by you. Calling is initiated by God. Jobs have to do with knowledge, ability and skill that you have acquired. Calling has to do with how God has wired you. Jobs are too small. Calling is our life opus.
Help in discovering God's calling — reflect on the 10 R's:
Starting place — Responsibilities: what am I responsible for? Reward - what gives me joy? Return - where do I see God using me (ask others for their input)? Ruin - what breaks your heart? Repentance - what do I need to change? Risk - Where do I need to get out of my comfort zone and start obeying? Remember - how and where God has led you? Reflect - meditate on the Word. What is God saying to you about you? Refresh - spend time alone enjoying the Lord. Request - saturate all of this in prayer.
