Driven By a Devine Calling

A Devine calling  is a call to a complete relationship with God and with the world around us. It encompasses all of a person's being and doing (our way of life). 

"He has saved us and called us to a holy life—not because of anything we have done but because of his own purpose and grace. This grace was given us in Christ Jesus before the beginning of time, but it has now been revealed through the appearing of our Savior, Christ Jesus, who has destroyed death and has brought life and immortality to light through the gospel. " - 2 Timothy 1:9-10

It reminds us that the call to any particular kind of work is secondary to the call to belong to Christ and to participate in his redemption of the world. 

Below you will find ways in which you can get more in touch with your own Devine calling:

Seek God's Will in Prayer: - Begin by spending time in prayer, seeking God's guidance and wisdom. Philippians 4:6-7 encourages us to pray about everything.
