Isaiah 5:21
"Woe to those who are wise in their own eyes and clever in their own sight."
Wouldn't you say that it is impossible to do God's will and follow His plan if you do not know what it is? Often, we see happiness and think, "Oh, this must be of God to be so great and happy!" Many times we let our own cleverness and wisdom over-shadow the blindness and humility it takes to see God's actual path for each of us. If we come helpless, His help is seen. So when we find our calling in ministry, often it is a gift that we have over-looked due to its insignificance to our personal lives. Perhaps some of our calling is not necessarily to be a working part of each individual ministry that exists, instead, some of us exist to know about various ministry needs and the lack of God's people and be able to connect others with their individual talents to a ministry suiting to their gift of service. Maybe my job isn't to build a house, instead through my passion for those in need, search for someone who has been given that as a gift and let them make that their service. Maybe my service is connecting others who may serve each other in the talents specifically given to them and thus serving the Kingdom altogether in a whole new way. Maybe hands on isn't everyone's calling! Service is so dynamic!
