Calling.
My church background calling was a specific and yet mystic thing.
Some had a real sense of specific call.
I’ve never felt this specific call. Maybe I didn’t do enough hard work to get enough clarity from God. Or maybe calling isn’t what we all think it is.
I do think some people get very strong sense of calling. Actually, I’d put this more in the vision camp. They have a vision and they drive after it.
In 2 Peter 1, Peter brings up calling. And there is nothing about this calling that is specific. He isn’t teaching us to plead with God until he gives us a very clear definition of what he wants.
Our calling is to live inside his divine power so he will give us everything pertaining to Life and his character. And he will give us all of the characteristics in increasing measure. And we will be more diligent to have the characteristics of God.
We may have a strong vision from God for some ministry or business. He may lead you day-by-day…only getting enough vision to lay your head down on the pillow that night. How he reveals his Kingdom assignment is up to him.
We only need to lean into the calling he gives us to Hear & Follow Jesus today so his divine power will give us everything we need.
