Spiritual leaders must function from a sense of sacred calling. They know that almighty God chose them to fulfill His divine purposes. Their calling stems not from their expertise or superior skills or advanced schooling. Rather, God’s call is a gift of His grace. What an awesome privilege to be chosen by God to represent Him and to speak and serve on His behalf! How amazing it is to know that our ordinary lives have been swept up into the purposes of heaven! At the end of our lives it will be those holy adventures in which we participated that will give us the greatest satisfaction.
Making our calling even more magnificent is the fact that God has been preparing to use our lives since before time began. God has, in His eternal counsel, always known you would one day be born and walk upon the earth. He knew what the economy would be like during your life. He understood what the trends, political issues, diseases, natural disasters, and technological breakthroughs would be during your lifetime. God has not been caught by surprise by anything you have experienced! He has always known how your life could make the maximum impact for His kingdom.
Now you have finally been born and are living out your life on earth. Make certain you miss nothing of what eternal God has prepared for you!
