Have you ever felt like you weren’t doing that thing that you should be doing?
Thought about changing your career?
But is career in my thought is not vocation. Vocation is calling from the Latin for voice, and that is why we say that those in the “ministry” have a vocation. And in my thoughts and my understanding we all have a calling a vocation, and that is what our ministry is. That is our part of the mission of God…
You can do something and make money and that is a career, but what you do with your life in and through how you live and show forth God’s love is your vocation. Now they can be one and the same, but they may not be…
But what ever your calling, God gave that to you! He speaks of this through the prophet Isaiah in chapter 49. Isaiah speaks of a creator that has planned on your existence long before you were ever born. Isaiah speaks of how God hides you in the shadow of His hand and protects you from everything that could harm you. Isaiah calls you a polished arrow, created for a specific purpose and hidden away in God’s quiver until the needed time. That is such beautiful imagery, and speaks to the depth of God’s love for each and everyone of us! God has a plan for you, and He is saving you in His quiver to shoot you into the mission field at the right time so that you might do that which He needs you to do to fulfill the plan that was set into motion long before you were a glimmer in your mother’s eye. God has everything in His hand and uses His creation to show forth His love.
Live as one God called before you were born, who was named in your mother’s womb, because you are! a golden arrow in the quiver of God!
