1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:04,000
I'm thinking today of Exodus 27-21.

2
00:00:04,000 --> 00:00:08,640
In the tent of meeting outside the veil which is before the testimony, Aaron and his sons

3
00:00:08,640 --> 00:00:11,760
shall keep it in order from evening to morning before the Lord.

4
00:00:11,760 --> 00:00:18,840
It shall be a perpetual statute throughout their generations for the sons of Israel.

5
00:00:18,840 --> 00:00:21,320
Here Aaron and his sons are given a job for life.

6
00:00:21,320 --> 00:00:25,160
This is what people mean when they say a calling.

7
00:00:25,160 --> 00:00:27,760
It's something you do for the duration.

8
00:00:27,760 --> 00:00:31,080
They were keep the outer house of God in order.

9
00:00:31,080 --> 00:00:32,080
It's a pretty cool job.

10
00:00:32,080 --> 00:00:37,800
In a way, it's a job that was created in their lifetime for their lifetime.

11
00:00:37,800 --> 00:00:43,320
As for me, I preach, I serve the body, I run games, I'm a dad, I talk to God and listen,

12
00:00:43,320 --> 00:00:44,640
at least I'm supposed to.

13
00:00:44,640 --> 00:00:47,720
I write and I'm director of the Southside Legislation.

14
00:00:47,720 --> 00:00:49,240
I podcast the services.

15
00:00:49,240 --> 00:00:53,480
I get the gospel out by any creative means I can.

16
00:00:53,480 --> 00:00:55,280
I am called to be a witness.

17
00:00:55,280 --> 00:00:57,720
I connect the body as God leads the course.

18
00:00:57,720 --> 00:00:59,200
I represent God in the church.

19
00:00:59,200 --> 00:01:04,160
I'm a pastor, director, GM, dad, husband, author, but most importantly, I'm a servant

20
00:01:04,160 --> 00:01:06,120
of Christ in all things I do.

21
00:01:06,120 --> 00:01:11,080
For this reason, I must learn to do them well, meaning effectively and efficiently.

22
00:01:11,080 --> 00:01:14,480
I think I'm drifting a little on efficiency at times.

23
00:01:14,480 --> 00:01:16,800
I trust God will get me there though.

24
00:01:16,800 --> 00:01:18,160
I must be willing.

25
00:01:18,160 --> 00:01:24,040
Lord, I repent, that is to say I repent, and I turn to you again today.

26
00:01:24,040 --> 00:01:30,000
I want to do all that you have given to me to do and to do it well.

27
00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:34,880
Won't you join me in looking for the calling on your life, the thing that God has uniquely

28
00:01:34,880 --> 00:01:39,040
equipped you to do, probably something you're passionate about?

29
00:01:39,040 --> 00:01:43,600
If you don't have one, then I would suggest turning to the Lord and saying, God, use me

30
00:01:43,600 --> 00:01:54,440
as you see fit, or as Isaiah said, here I am, Lord, send me.
