'"I HAVE FILLED HIM WITH...SKILL, ABILITY AND KNOWLEDGE IN ALL KINDS OF
CRAFTS."' EXODUS 31:3

Have you read about two builders named Bezalel and Oholiab? God speaks
about them: ' "I have chosen Bezalel...and...filled him with the Spirit
of God, with skill, ability and knowledge in all kinds of
crafts...Moreover, I have appointed Oholiab...to help him..." ' (Exodus
31:2-6 NIV). There are other examples where God's call was not
'religious' in a formal sense. Nehemiah the wall builder, Daniel the
government man in Babylon, Luke a first century physician. So consider
this: your job could be your calling! When you demonstrate Christian
character there, and use your income to fulfil God's purposes on earth,
you are as called as any minister. And your past doesn't disqualify you.
Paul wrote, '...I was...a blasphemer... and a violent man...' (1 Timothy
1:13 NIV). Happily, God doesn't consult our past to determine our
future. Furthermore, God will call you to a job that looks too big for
you. Why? So you'll never forget where your strength and success come
from. Calls are not classified ads; you don't volunteer, you respond!
God speaks, He persistently nudges you. In Chariots of Fire, Eric
Liddell says, 'When I run, I feel God's pleasure.' All your human
accolades and accomplishments will eventually leave you empty. Lasting
pleasure, the kind only God provides, comes from knowing you are doing
what He's told you to do. Eventually Eric Liddell became a missionary;
so your call can begin one place then take you to another. Whenever you
know you're doing what God has called you to do; you experience a
lasting pleasure that simply can't be found anywhere else!
