“I asked, ‘What should I do, Lord?’” Acts 22:10
In Acts 22 Paul shares the account of his conversion to Christ with a Jewish mob, and in this account he shares a small piece of information that was not recorded in Acts 9; Paul recounts how when he was confronted by the Lord Jesus Christ, his first response was, "What should I do, Lord?” Personally, I believe those five words are the most powerful words that can come out of the mouth of a Christian.
This past Sunday I shared the fact that according to scripture, all Christians have a calling for their life:
- We are called to go and tell - Matt 28:191-20
- We each are given gifts - 1 Cor 12 / Romans 12:3-8
- We are instructed to use our gifts - 1 Peter 4:10
- Our gifts and calling are irrevocable - Romans 11:29
- Sometimes its self-centeredness; We have a plan, and we don’t want God’s plan messing up our plan.
- Sometimes its fear; We’re afraid God may send us to someplace we’ll be miserable, or to a mission that we’ll find unbearable.
- Sometimes its simply ignorance; We didn’t realize that God has a plan for our life, and that with Christ working in us, we can make a difference in our world.
Trust me, if you’ll simply ask God "What should I do, Lord?” - God will answer that prayer, and your life will never be the same, and... whatever He calls you to, and wherever He calls you to, that is where you will be the most fulfilled! The "sweet spot" of this life is to be right where God calls you to be, doing what God calls you to do.
For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them. Eph 2:10
