Is our calling what we always imagine? Is there one ultimate calling out there for everyone?
I believe we see many examples in the Bible that show that God’s calling does have high points, but it is more of a process. God’s calling is not a destination, it’s a journey.
God’s leading is ultimately a lamp unto our feet. A lamp only gives you one step at a time. Our calling is filled with many steps that we simply need to say “yes” to.
High Points
- Your calling is a journey, not a destination.
- You can say “no” to your calling.
- Your calling is not just in the future, it’s happening right now.
Bible References
Then the Lord said to him, “Who has made man’s mouth? Who makes him mute, or deaf, or seeing, or blind? Is it not I, the Lord? Now therefore go, and I will be with your mouth and teach you what you shall speak.” But he said, “Oh, my Lord, please send someone else.” Then the anger of the Lord was kindled against Moses and he said, “Is there not Aaron, your brother, the Levite? I know that he can speak well. Behold, he is coming out to meet you, and when he sees you, he will be glad in his heart. You shall speak to him and put the words in his mouth, and I will be with your mouth and with his mouth and will teach you both what to do. He shall speak for you to the people, and he shall be your mouth, and you shall be as God to him.
—Exodus 4:11-16
Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path.
—Psalms 119:105

—2 Timothy 1:9

Man. This hits home with me in so many ways. I’m great with IT yet I love sports and used to be pretty good, but also have had a love for music and used to help lead worship back in high school (was also once in an audition only choir where you had to sight read in the audition in the one year of college I did), so I’ve seen that I’ve never been one set on just one thing. I’m also passionate about loving on others and being encouragement to those who need it, but yet am passionate about traveling and meeting people from different walks, ever since I deployed to Afghanistan with the Army back in 2011-2012. So, listening to this just reminded me of this. I really love these podcasts. Even if some of it is stuff I know from my walk with the Lord over years, it’s a great reminder from the Holy Spirit through you, though. Also, Kirsten and I already miss Living Streams and Explore (we’ve been MIA since last Sunday, since the baby is for sure going to be born by Tuesday the 19th.) But we’ll definitely be back soon! We definitely feel this is the home God has led us to, it fits perfectly so far.
