God Will Not Give You a Calling That Fits You

Lead Pastor Erwin McManus shares an empowering new message that gives us insight into how God orchestrates our calling in our lives. Though it is common to assume that the calling God gives us will fit like a glove, Pastor Erwin challenges this notion. Instead of fitting us perfectly, God’s calling is always bigger than us and requires that we lean into His power to step into it fully.  

 In 2 Thessalonians chapter 1, we read that God is the one who makes us fit for the calling He gives us. But there are times when we take on the calling others have placed on us instead of God’s. These callings don’t fit the unique plans that God has for us and they leave us unfulfilled, living below our intended purpose.   

When we chase after the calling God has for us, He works miracles as we take action. And though our friends and family may not see the way forward to the calling God has given us, we must take responsibility for it and trust God in the process. God always gives a calling that is bigger than us and at the same time, He is always the one that makes us fit for it.   

Have you been wondering how to take hold of the unique calling God has on your life? This message will give you the courage to step into your calling as you trust that God will make you fit for it.
