TIMELESS TREASURES

YOUR CALLING WILL FIND YOU (Part 2)

By Sandra Clifton, D.Min.

 

Begin your study by reading “Your Calling Will Find You” by Frances E. Willard (SpiritLed Woman magazine, Dec/Jan, 2007).

 

Introduction

What are you doing to nurture and “walk” in the calling of God on your life? God’s Word is there for you—as a guide, direction, and help, so that you might fulfill His calling for you and your life.

 

What God Says

Read  Ps. 3:3.

 

Write it out. Consider how much God protects you and your calling!

 

Deeper Insight

Read the following Scriptures (in New King James Version, as the exercises to follow will be based on that). Make brief notes of how each passage relates to the calling of God.

 

Ps. 37:23: _______________________________________________________

 

Ps. 145:2-3: _____________________________________________________

 

Prov. 23:17-18: ___________________________________________________

 

Phil. 4:13: _______________________________________________________

 

Application

Below are Scripture listings (NKJV) taken from the previous Deeper Insight section. Below them are phrases or sentences that pertain to them (not in order of the listings, of course). Fill in the blanks to the side of each theme with the correct listing. Afterward, look up the listing and see if the theme you picked is correct. Write out each Scripture and memorize. This will strengthen you in the direction of your calling.

 

Ps. 37:23

Ps. 145:3

Prov. 23:18

Phil. 4:13

 

I can do all things through Christ.

______ The steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord.

______ Great is the Lord, and greatly to be praised.

______ Surely there is a hereafter, and your hope will not be cut off.

 

For Group Study

Begin your group time by reading aloud Ps. 37:23 and share views of what it means. Also encourage testimonies of how the Lord has guided anyone lost back to Him and, as well, how He has kept anyone “on His path” daily, despite enemy attacks and challenges.

            End the meeting by praying for the calling of God on the group members’ lives—and that they will be fulfilled!

 

Prayer:

Read aloud as part of your prayer Phil. 4:13 and then thank the Lord that He daily empowers you to do all things through Him and His presence and direction. Thank Him for His calling on your life, that He is empowering you to walk in it successfully and completely, fulfilling it.
