12.26 Living your life as worship to God
We have a unique race which has been marked out for us (Heb 12:1-2; Ps 139:16). We have also received gifts of grace to fulfill His calling (Eph 4:7-8). When we run this race, it gives us great satisfaction within that cannot be explained. This is the satisfaction that comes from knowing that we are walking in what God has prepared for us beforehand (Eph 2:10).
Each of us will discover our divine calling as we walk in the leading of the Holy Spirit. Hi will write His will and put His desires in your heart (Heb 8:10). When you are out of His calling, your spirit man will not be fully at rest. When you are walking in His calling, you will experience great peace, joy and satisfaction from within.
For the majority of Christians, I believe that God wants us to impact our family and friends. That is our spiritual domain. For example, I knew that I was the first to receive salvation in my family so that I can bring the light of the gospel to the rest of my family members. I also take great joy in sharing Christ with my friends.
In the local church, God will use us according to the gifts of grace given to us (Eph 4:7-8). The majority of us will flow in some spiritual or ministry gifts, while others may be called to a 5-fold ministry. For example, I know that God has called me to teach His word and I find great satisfaction from fulfilling His calling. Every life that is transformed by the revelation of God’s word brings great joy to my heart.
Make a choice today to live a life of true worship – to live by His Life and to be driven by His passion. Lay hold of the abundant grace and calling that He has given you. Pray this prayer with me:
Heavenly Father,
I know that all the days of my life are already written in your book. You gave me a destiny when you knitted me in my mother’s womb. You have marked out a race for me. Lord Jesus, I desire to be the expression of Your life and Your perfect will. As you live through me, empower me to run my race and to fulfill my divine calling. In Jesus’ name I pray, Amen.
