God morning, my brothers and sisters! Here is hoping you all had a tremendous week! Start today and know that today you will affect somebody, so give them your best.
I was just with some men I am privileged to have coffee with every Friday morning and something came up worth sharing. Hope it inspires you today. About 30+ years ago, I had a profound conversation with my pastor, who held a PhD in Divinity. I expressed my intention to leave everything behind and enroll in seminary. To my surprise, he asked, “Why?” I was puzzled, but he explained, “There are many theologians out here who have no idea how to apply their knowledge to reach out to the world. You are currently in the business world and are reaching people that I can't reach. You come home every weekend sharing wonderful stories of making a difference in so many lives. You are already in ministry; don’t let an education certificate define your impact. Go spread the word and fulfill what you’ve been called to do in your vocation.”
As it did then to the men's conversation today, it reminded me of our Friday Fly-By word for today and it comes from 1st Corinthians 7:17, and it says 'Nevertheless, each person should live as a believer in whatever situation the Lord has assigned to them, just as God has called them.' This verse underscores that our calling isn't confined to the walls of a church or measured by a title. It’s about living out our faith and purpose in the place where God has planted us. LIVE IT OUT! Such awesome words…it teaches us to embrace where you are in your journey. Your current position is not just a job; it's a ministry, an opportunity to serve and to shine your light. You don’t need to be in a conventional religious role to make a spiritual impact. Whether in business, education, healthcare, or any field, you are in the right place to live out your calling. Bring the best side of you always, it could make the biggest difference in someone's life today.
Hope this touched you today…as always, Love you all and be blessed and go be a blessing, Go and continue to inspire and serve those around you in your unique way!
