Entrusted // Entrusted with Vocations

Brandon Fisher | August 17 2025 God entrusts us with different vocations and callings in our lives so that we might work for His glory and the good of other people. The Bible teaches us that work is a gift from God, not a curse to be avoided. Though sin has distorted our experience of work—bringing frustration, toil, and imbalance—it remains a meaningful part of God’s design for our lives. Vocation is an important way we live out our faith, using our gifts and efforts to love and serve our neighbors, provide for those under our care, and give generously to others. Yet, with this gift comes danger: we can turn our work into an idol, grounding our identity solely in our jobs, overworking, or neglecting rest and relationships. Still, God is present and active in our vocations; He works through us to accomplish His purposes in the world—whether through parenting, teaching, building, caregiving, or leading. Ultimately, whatever season of life we’re in, we are called to see our vocations as sacred opportunities to glorify God and bless others.
