Vocational Well-Being

Personal Journaling Survey

Read: Genesis 40:1 – 8; Jonah 1:1 – 3

We all have a calling — a vocation — to follow Christ’s example by living a life of meaning, purpose, and service to our neighbor. Our vocations make up our life’s work and passions — they are the everyday roles through which God calls us to help make this world a better place. Those who are vocationally well are faithful stewards of their talents and abilities, and find opportunities to build and use them.

Recap:

Joseph ended up in jail because of a string of events after he shared interpretations of his dreams to his brothers. Even so, he didn’t stop doing what God had equipped him to do and interpreted the dreams of the cupbearer and the baker. Meanwhile, Jonah fled from what God asked him to do. Why do you think Joseph kept interpreting? Why do you think Jonah ran?

Reflect:

What are you good at? How might you use those gifts to serve God? Is it hard to share your gifts with God and others?

Plan:

You will experience many vocations in your life. What are two or three specific roles you play right now? Name something about them that makes you feel good about yourself, and some ways you feel you are making God's world a better place.

Pray:

God who calls us to serve, thank you for the things I love doing. Help me to celebrate everyone’s gifts and to use my gifts for you. Amen.
