Ephesians 4:1–3 says, “I, therefore, the prisoner of the Lord, beseech you to walk worthy of the calling with which you were called, with all lowliness and gentleness, with longsuffering, bearing with one another in love, endeavoring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.”

When God made man, what mattered to Him was not his mental or physical disposition but one who would be a stakeholder in His master plan. Every man has a divine cause to fulfil in God’s master plan. Every man born into this world came with a calling. Today, when we hear the word calling, the first thing that comes to mind is ministry—the work of God. Your calling is not limited to ministry. Our fathers of faith were called by God, but not all were called into ministry.

Your call is a solution to a problem. Have you discovered your calling? Are you doing what God has called you to do? The first step in knowing your calling is to get to know God better by reading His Word. The Word of God is our roadmap, the guide, the director for our life. Whatever you are called to do, do it well, as unto the Lord. Are you called to teach? Teach well! Are you called to preach? Preach well! (Colossians 3:23). Remember that what you do through God is your calling; whatever God accepts you to do through Him is also your calling.

Prayer: Lord Jesus, help me to know You more; help me to know my calling in life, in Jesus Christ’s name! Amen!
