Each child of God has a 'Call' on his or her life. Your 'Call' (or job) is the gift of the Spirit that was born within you when your turned your life over to Christ and accepted Him as your Lord and Savior (1 Corinthians, chapter 12 speaks of these 'gifts'). If you don't know what your call or gift is I implore you to prayerfully ask God to show you. As Christians we have a work to do for the Lord. We are not saved just to warm a pew but to go boldly into the world and preach the Gospel of Jesus Christ to those who are still in darkness! Now some of you may say 'wait a minute, I'm not a preacher, or teacher. I can't speak before crowds of people! Well you are just like I use to be, I use the think and feel the same way and there was NO WAY I was going to do that.
You see God's 'call' on my life, or the job He told me He wanted me to do was to 'save His Children! For a long time I ran from my calling. I made every excuse I could think of, from I did not know enough Bible to be trying to tell someone else how to live a christian life to I don't know exactly what God wanted me to do - although He had already told me. Even during the time I was running and ducking God's job He sent several people to tell me what I was suppose to do and how to do it. However, since God Himself did not speak to me directly when 'I' asked Him for direction, I continued to ignore my 'job for God'. It took me years to stop running but when I did I realized that the job God gave me to do He also equiped me to do.
If you are running from your call - STOP! If God gave it to you He will make sure you are equip to do what He has called you to do!
