Matt and Danielle explore the concept of your calling in Christ and the purpose that God has given you in your life. No matter our age or stage in our lives, we all have to seek the life our Lord wants us to lead to bring him glory and solidify our place as his loyal followers.  

This week, Matt and Danielle cover: 

• Seeking validation in the wrong places 
• Finding your calling at any point in your life 
• Understanding that the impact happens outside ourselves 
• Being refined through the waiting process 
• Trusting God even in contradictions  

 

The purpose is something that grows and develops  

You may not have found your purpose in life, and we understand the hunger you may be feeling to find your calling and follow your purpose that God has set out for you. As Christians, we have to accept that God has laid out a plan for our lives, and that our purpose can be revealed to us at any time in our lives. When we do find our purpose, we have to remember too we need to be ready for God to call us to do something more at any time.   

“I’ve seen what he has for me, and I’m planting the seed….Whenever he is ready for it to bloom, I need to be ready too.” 

 Persisting for God’s glory  

Our purpose as disciples is not to do something for ourselves, it is solely to do something for God. As true disciples of God, we aim to bring God further glory through the work we do as Christians and further encourage our fellow Christians to embrace God’s plan for each of us. The impact is always outside of ourselves, and so much larger than we can ever think to imagine.  

“When God seeks to use you, the main goal is that he will get more glory out of it.” 

Protection from God in your purpose  

What do you receive when you find your calling and uncover your purpose? A stronger sense of faith and an unwavering dedication to Christ. Each person has their own unique needs, passions, and desires, all of which can be better guided and solidified through our dedication to God and his dedication to us. Even when left in waiting, we have to remind ourselves that there is fruitful joy and incredible peace on the other side. 

“Through discovering the calling and purpose of your life, that will actually allow you to be protected from stumbling.”
