Your Hobby May Be Your Calling

DAY 2 OF 3

Day Two: WHAT (Not Who) Do You Love? 

Did you know that you may be doing your dream already? Yes! In fact, you probably are. Now, you may not be doing it full-time and you may not even recognize that this is your dream. But most of us wind up doing portions of our dream in our everyday lives because our dreams are made up of things we love to do. It includes our passions. It includes those things we would do if no-one was paying us at all. 

Because of that, many people mistakenly label their “dream” – their “hobby.” Simply because they fail to make the connection between how the things they LOVE to do are hints, whispers and sometimes even SHOUTS from the Lord about their dream!

Nobody ever says, “I hate doing my dream.” Nope. We all love doing our dreams. This is because it involves our passions, purpose and desires, skills and wraps them all up together in a nice little package called: Destiny. 

That's why it's important to not only identify your strengths but also your desires. Today, I want you to consider these questions to help you along that path.

Personal Reflection 

1. What are some of the things you consider to be “hobbies”? 

2. Ephesians 2:10 says, “For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand so that we would walk in them.” (NASB) Based on this passage, who has decided what your dream is? Explain why you chose your answer.

3. We often feel that we need to “set things up,” or “hook things up,” or “make the connections,” but according to Ephesians 2:10, what is our role in living out our dream?

4. Since God prepared your “good works” beforehand and you are to “walk in them,” how important is your abiding relationship with the Lord?
