A call to give your best effort at work and in ministry, even when you dislike your job or feel undervalued. Stop making excuses about dissatisfaction or fear. Show up on time, stay positive, work hard, and use the gifts you have now.
I'm gonna do everything to the best of my ability because it's to glorify God and it represents who I am in him. So for example, you go to work and maybe you don't like your job very much. That is not an excuse to show up late, have a bad attitude, to slack off and not apply your best. You may say, well, well, they're just taking advantage. And I understand there are some abusive environments. I'm not talking about abusive environments. But maybe it's just a job you don't like. Well, you need to do your best at that job because that's what a good Christian does. Maybe you feel called to ministry, and instead of studying the Bible in a deeper way, you just say, well, I'll start Monday, or maybe when I'm a little older, or I'll work on that next month once I get some other things in order. Maybe there's a spiritual gift that God's deposited in you, and instead of using that spiritual gift, you continue to believe the lies of the enemy. And you continue to believe that fear is an excuse that God will accept for inactivity. Well, you gotta actually start doing something. You have to choose to act, and you have to choose to act now.
