Many Christians do not put forth their best effort at work. This is because they fail to see the connection between what they are doing now and what they believe to be their higher calling. Things get interesting when you realize that these same people have no idea what their “high calling” entails. If their highest calling under God appeared and knocked on the door, they would not recognise it. At the end of the day, such people are making a serious mistake. And their poor attitude towards the work they currently have will have negative consequences on their journey.
The Bible teaches to give your all to whatever your hands find to do. Whether you consider the work to be your higher calling or not, you are expected to do it well. You cannot dismiss any task assigned to you right now as irrelevant to your destiny. Because, obviously, you don’t even know your destiny. You must believe that God is at work behind the scenes, bringing tasks, jobs, and opportunities your way. And all of this is preparing you for something. Everything is working together for your good (Romans 8:28).
According to Colossians 3:23-24, “Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as if you were working for the Lord, not for human masters.” This mindset transforms our actions into expressions of worship and trust. It demonstrates that we understand that everything we have comes from God and that we are responsible to Him for how we use it. You will be accountable for every job, task, and opportunity that comes your way. You serve and work for God under your current human masters. If you are looking for your calling and assignment, please understand that it is already within your current job.
