“With this in mind, we constantly pray for you, that our God may count you worthy of His calling, and that by His power He may fulfill every good purpose of yours and every act prompted by your faith.”  
2 Thessalonians 1:11

Whether you are a big sports fan or not, it’s easy to get caught up in the action when you’re watching a great athlete.

Why?

They play at such a high level that it is inspirational to watch them when they are “in the zone.”

What does it mean to be “in the zone?” Well, that’s when someone’s actions seem effortless, almost as if they could score at will.

We can all think of a bad day at work, but can you think of any time when you were in the zone – a moment where you enjoyed your task, you were caught up in your work and lost track of time? What were you doing at that moment? What skills were you using? What was it that caused you to be passionate about the work? Understanding the answers to these questions will often help you better understand how to use your time and talents best and find your “calling,” if you will.

A calling is when we passionately use our God-given gifts in a way that pleases Him. We are not talking about your personality profile but about those God-given gifts listed in the Bible, like teaching, preaching, generosity, administration, and prayer, among many others.

Kirk Livingston, CEO of a communications company, says, “When we find ourselves involved with God at work, we also begin to find the work we were meant to do.” And that’s how we discover our true calling from God.

Have you discovered your calling?

Are you in your spiritual zone?

If not, pray and search for God’s will. Over time, I promise He’ll reveal it to you.
