2 Timothy 4:5 (LSB)
But you, be sober in all things, endure hardship, do the work of an evangelist, fulfill your ministry.
As a Christian, understanding your calling is an integral part of your faith journey. Searching for clarity in your calling can be frustrating and exhausting, but it’s crucial to realize that God has a unique plan for your life. Discovering your calling requires faith, patience, and a willingness to listen to God’s voice. It may even require stepping out of your comfort zone and taking risks, but the reward is immeasurable. Whilst you are discovering exactly what your calling is, I will give you a trick that will help you.
In 2 Timothy 4:5, Paul encourages young Timothy to “do the work of an evangelist.” Then he says, “fulfil your ministry.” In reading that, you might think Timothy was called to be an evangelist, but he was not. Here is the trick: whilst you are looking for your calling, whatever your hands find to do, do it! Look around, see what is needed, and get busy doing the work. Whilst you are fulfilling the needs of the ministry, God will see to it that you bump into your calling. So don’t worry about running around looking for your calling. Do the work, and your calling will find you!
PROPHETIC DECLARATION
The works of my hands are blessed! I am indispensable. Whatever God is doing, He won’t do it without me! Amen.
