Destined for Greatness: Unraveling the Mystery of Your Calling - a 5-Day Devotional by Samantha B. NqokoSample

Don't Waste Your Time, Energy, and Resources

God has prepared specific good works for you—tasks that align with His Kingdom purposes and are meant to make a meaningful impact. However, many of us end up in jobs or careers that don't match our true calling, leading to frustration and a sense of unfulfillment. This often happens because we lack clarity about our God-given purpose and invest our time, energy, and resources in places that are not aligned with God's plan for our lives.

I experienced this myself. I pursued a career as a scientific researcher, believing it was my destined path. Despite years of study and the intellectual challenge of the work, I felt disconnected and unfulfilled. Although it seemed like a promising career, it didn't resonate with my deeper passions. I realized that although I was doing something that looked right on paper, I wasn't aligned with my soul's purpose. There was a disconnect between my true calling and the work I was doing with my life.

You might find yourself in a similar situation. The good news is that God is more than ready to give you revelation and understanding about your purpose. If you let Him, He will bring your whole life into alignment with the wonderful plans He has for you.

Prayer:

Father, I want to walk in the good works You have prepared for me. Help me to discover and embrace my calling so that I can live a life that brings glory to You. Open my eyes to areas of my life that are not aligned with Your plan for me. Show me the steps I need to take to fulfill the purpose You have for me. Amen.
