Do you answer the call?
By Destany Benson
For many are called, but few are chosen.
Matthew 22: 14
GOD has called all of us to be something. And that something impacts lives; HE probably has called you to be a teacher, doctor, or a leader. Whatever GOD has called you to do is for you only. GOD does not make us miss our calling, but we can miss it ourselves. For one, we can miss it by not entering into HIS presence ( meditating in HIS word and simple just not asking. And two, not taking the responsibilities of the calling. Let's go over one and two.
1. For us to find out who we truly are in CHIRST ( our calling) we need to give our all to HIM. Our thought life, desires, and attention. Because what He has for us is better than what we have for ourselves. That is when GOD starts to lining up and to reveal to us our calling.
2. When GOD has revealed and aligning to us what we are called to be. We answer the call... and with that call there are responsibilities. This is your call no one else's. For example, you are a manager at a grocery store. It is your responsibility as a manager to make sure the store is running in the direction that it is supposed to be going. But if you give the responsibilities to one of your co-workers who has not had the training to be a manager. The grocery store will not be going towards the direction that is should be going.
This is your calling. Remember when you answer the calling, you are also answering to the responsibilities to that calling. When you give someone the responsibility because you do not feel like doing them, your calling will not go the way GOD had planned. Because only you know how to handle the responsibilities. No body else can, because GOD specifically chosen you.
