Receiving a Call from God

Receiving a calling from God is like getting a ticket to a show. The type of event and the venue tell us what we are going to see. Therefore, different Christian callings simply mean different ways in which we will see God. The pastor or evangelist see God’s work and character in a bit of a different manner than the teacher or social worker. Yet, they are all recipients of grace. They get to perceive a part of God’s glory. Necessarily, they will miss other sights and sounds, though all eternity will afford them time to see and hear them. Therefore, when discerning His will is unclear, we must sometimes ask ourselves, “How do you want to see and savor God move to reveal Himself?”
