Devotional
As our faces are different, so are our purposes and callings in life. But then, why do we go ahead striving about every little matter with one another? Yes, we may share one central purpose—to glorify God, but then again, it is aimed and serviced from different pathways and timelines. Apparently, each one of us has a unique timeline. But the ways, methods, functions, and successes of one timeline varies from the other. So, the Bible has this to say,
Key Scripture
The gifts he gave were that some would be apostles, some prophets, some evangelists, some pastors and teachers,Eph 4:11 NRSV
Refreshing for the Day
What works for a person in his timeline may not work for the other. It’s not witches nor wizards, it only calls for a check on the understanding of our timelines. Again, each timeline has its distinctive time and pace; this debunks and dissociates the myth of competition in it. You don’t kill yourself over the success or the achievement of another. Maybe, it’s “yes” on his timeline and “no” on yours. And that does not make him better than you. It is his time today, tomorrow may be your turn. So, don’t let anyone rush you with their timeline. Never you try to cut corners in life, it’s dangerous. Just be patient, keep on serving the Lord by your life, hoping, and doing the right thing, someday your “yes” will shine, and you will rejoice. Stay Refreshed!
Note This
No timeline is the same. And nobody has the ability to determine what happens in his timeline, it is of God.
Responsibility
So, cheer up about the things of life. It is destined according to our fate, when it’s your turn, you will shine.
