Finding Our Calling -- The Meaning of Life
Adapted from
Every Life
a
Plan of God,
by Batsell
Barrett Baxter:
1. Are you able to do what you think your calling is?
2. Do you have an overpowering desire to do it?
3. Do others think you can do it?
4. Are circumstances (God's providence) cooperating
so you can do it?
5. Pray, Look, and Listen.
Glorify God. Live to the praise of His glory. To me,
this is the meaning of life.

Look into yourself to decide what career you really
want. Always remember to put God first. Each choice
we make in our every day life helps us come to our real
calling. Service to God and our fellow man -- I consider
this the meaning of life.

Listen, try out different things, and learn as much as
possible about those things you are interested in. Ask
for God's guidance in your decision making. It's hard to
sum it up any better than the wise man, Solomon.
"Fear God and keep His commandments, for this is the
whole duty of man."

Keep opening doors and be willing to try new things,
relating to jobs and careers. Spiritually, our calling will
come if we keep the Lord first. Glorify God in all that
you do.
