— “Calling is confirmed not by comfort, but by communion with God.”
📖 Summary
A God-given job isn’t about comfort or income —
it’s where God’s presence and purpose are alive.
Calling is verified not by circumstances,
but by peace, fruit, and faithfulness in God’s will.
1️⃣ Introduction | “Is this job really God’s will for me?”
Many ask, “Should I stay or move on?”
But vocation is not just about career — it’s about mission.
The question isn’t “Do I like this job?” but “Is God working through me here?”
2️⃣ Biblical Foundation | God Reveals Himself Through Work
📘 Colossians 3:23–24 (ESV) — “Work heartily, as for the Lord.”
📘 1 Corinthians 7:17 (ESV) — “Lead the life that the Lord has assigned.”
📘 Proverbs 16:9 (ESV) — “The Lord establishes his steps.”
→ Work is sacred when done in God’s will and presence.
3️⃣ Theological Insights | Calling Is About Obedience, Not Ease
📜 John MacArthur — “Calling is measured by obedience, not convenience.”
📜 R.C. Sproul — “God cares more about holiness in your work than the place you work.”
📜 John Piper — “Your job becomes your altar when it magnifies God’s worth.”
📜 Tim Keller — “Vocation is God’s way of renewing creation through us.”
📜 Westminster Shorter Catechism Q.1 — “Man’s chief end is to glorify God.”
4️⃣ Misconceptions vs Biblical Truth

5️⃣ Application | Four Questions to Discern God’s Call
1️⃣ Does it align with Scripture and integrity?
2️⃣ Does it glorify God through excellence and love?
3️⃣ Does it bring lasting peace, not fleeting comfort?
4️⃣ Does it bless others and serve God’s mission?
6️⃣ Conclusion |
God’s calling is less about position and more about purpose.
If your work becomes the place where God’s character shines through you,
then that job is your holy ground.
