The Discovery: Exploring God’s Call On Your Life Sample
As you begin to discover your assignment, remember the ministry attitude Jesus modeled. It is fine to be excited about your assignment. In fact, God wants you to be passionate about it. After all, He designed your assignment just for you and you for your assignment. The apostle Paul felt the same way about the task he was assigned.
It’s natural to feel excited and confident in your assignment, but guard against the human tendency to allow confidence and enthusiasm to become pride and arrogance.
Always carry out ministry with the ultimate goal of pointing people to Jesus and bringing glory to God, not yourself.
Respond to the following in your journal:
How can you guard against arrogance and pride as you discover your assignment?
What did you learn through Bible study today?
How were you encouraged? How were you challenged?
Scripture
About this Plan
Welcome! We are so excited that you want to explore God’s unique plan for your life.

Enjoy the journey! Here are just a few tips as you jump in: • Come prepared mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. • Shut out all distractions. • Start with prayer. Keep communication between you and God open and easy by confessing any unconfessed sin, accepting His forgiveness, and asking Him to speak to your heart through Bible study. • Take your time. Read all of the verses listed, listen for God’s voice. You may want to write in a journal as you go so you can track your spiritual progress and remember what God says to you.
