"Therefore, my brothers and sisters, make every effort to confirm your calling and election. For if you do these things, you will never stumble, and you will receive a rich welcome into the eternal kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ"- 2 Peter 1:10-11 (NIV).
We always think our calling will be something grand; something we know how to do and enjoy doing. Maybe, though, it's the smaller things that contribute to kingdom work and growth. There is an army of workers who make the politician presentable, the doctor capable, and the soldier unstoppable. Not everyone can be on the front-line. Maybe you're an aspiring writer, but only get asked to proof other's work; or a skilled musician who plays an instrument, but ends up running the soundboard and setting up microphones for others. Regardless, you are where God placed you. "Nevertheless, each person should live as a believer in whatever situation the Lord has assigned to them, just as God has called them" (1 Corinthians 7:17). You may feel you're working behind the scenes, but live as a believer; you will never stumble and will one day receive the rich welcome into the very kingdom, His kingdom, you've been working for all along.
