Unveiling Your Calling: A 5-Day Spiritual Exploration预览

Throughout Scripture God talked to ordinary people, and He’ll talk to you too! He told Abraham when to leave home (see Genesis 12:1), and Jacob when to go back home (see Genesis 31:3).

He told Elijah where to find food in the middle of a famine (see 1 Kings 17:1–5) and on two different occasions He stopped Paul from walking through what appeared to be a door of opportunity because He had something better in mind for him.

The Bible says: ‘The Lord is good and does what is right; He shows the proper path to those who go astray. He leads the humble in doing right, teaching them His way. The Lord leads with unfailing love and faithfulness all who keep His covenant and obey His demands.’ (Psalm 25:8–10 NLT)

Nothing is more important in life than being led by God. Other people’s input should confirm and clarify what God’s already telling you. But until you’ve heard from Him, you’ll be tempted to think other people’s ideas are God’s leading—and that can hurt you.

You’re unique, and God has a unique plan and purpose for you. When you’re not sure which way to go, stand on His promise: ‘I will lead My blind people by roads they have never travelled. I will turn their darkness into light and make rough country smooth before them. These are My promises, and I will keep them without fail.’ (Isaiah 42:16 GNT) It doesn’t get any better than that!

‘God is working in you, giving you the desire and the power to do what pleases Him.’ Philippians 2:13 NLT
