Brian Houston writes: “Did you know the word calling literally means “to shout aloud”? Some people are waiting for a whisper from heaven to direct their path, when the opportunity before them, is shouting loudly. The same is true for you. Your calling may be blaring like a siren in your ear, sounding an alarm that’s been going off for some time. What are you good at? What seems to come naturally to you? What opportunity lies right in front of you? Are you artistic? Love numbers and balanced order? Enjoy working with your hands in the garden? Have a passion for music? Feel at home in the classroom? Often you may be waiting for some still, small voice to whisper in your ear, when you calling is blasting out loud all around you! (…) Use what’s in your hand. This is the response God gave Moses after choosing him to lead the people of Israel out of slavery in Egypt.” Use what’s in your hand.
