Paul knew who he was, and he knew who called him. Galatians 1:1 begins, “Paul, an apostle (not from men…)”. He knew that it was God who chose him, and it was God that He would answer to.
Man cannot define who we are or what we’re to be. Personality tests and profiling (as great as they are) cannot define the grace upon our lives. Like the apostle Paul, we have to receive our calling from God Himself and allow Him to form and fashion us for the work He’s called us to.
Are you giving the people around you the place that only God can truly have; the place of shaping your identity? Thank God for godly leadership that He’s ordained in our lives, but still, our calling is from God not men and when it comes right down to it, we will answer to Him alone.
Knowing that God is the source of our identity motivates us to press into Him for the revelation of who we are; revelation that He alone can give. Press into Him today.
