Our Calling
There is often this misconception about a calling that a true calling from God is to carry out some form of ministry; preaching, pastoring, evangelising, whatever it may be. 'Secular' work as in banking, teaching, trading, manufacturing, all are considered less than a true calling from God. But this is not what the Bible teaches. Adam was called to work, to name the animals and to oversee the garden, and this was before the fall. This is the original calling of God for Adam and this has not changed. Banking, teaching, manufacturing are as much a calling of God as preaching and evangelising. And that is why Paul tells us to remain in whatever we have been doing at the time of our conversion as this is God's calling for us.
Prayer: Lord God, let us understand your calling of us that in whatever walk of life we are in, we work for you and we work to glorify your name. Let us through our attitudes, our motives and the actual work that we do, truly glorify your name so that all may see through the way we take up our calling that our God is glorified in our work. In Jesus' Name, Amen.
