Continuing with the study we recently concluded in my church’s women’s Bible study, another takeaway of mine is the importance of knowing and staying in my lane. We see this beautifully illustrated in the lives of two great Apostles, each with their own flaws and imperfections, yet each called to distinct assignments. Apostle Peter was called to minister to the Jews, while Apostle Paul was sent to the Gentiles.
These men had remarkable and complicated pasts—Peter, a devout Jewish rule follower, and Paul, similarly zealous but with a twist: he once persecuted and killed Christ’s followers. Despite these shortcomings, they approached their callings with intentionality and strategic focus. They remained faithful to their unique missions, never stepping into each other’s roles or trying to accomplish what was not theirs to do. They understood their purpose and embraced it wholeheartedly.
Let me pause here and ask you, my dear reader: Do you know what you have been called to do? How are you walking in that calling? Or have you perhaps found yourself swept up in the mindset of the “I can do all things” crowd? Let me clarify—while it is true that we can do all things through Christ who strengthens us, this does not mean we are called to do everything or be everything for everyone.
Discover your God-given assignment, approach it with the same intentionality as the Apostles, and carry it out prayerfully. As I write this, I remind myself of the same truth. I know I cannot do or be everything for everyone, but I can trust God to guide my steps and align them with His plan for my life. By His grace, I pray we will fulfill our calling.
Shalom,
