This is part 2 in my blog series. If you haven't read part 1 yet, pause, read it and then come back.
In my message we looked at David and how he stayed back from battle. He had spent his entire life pursuing what God had called him to do. When he was a shepherd he pursued the lion. When he was helping his dad and brothers and pursued a Philistine giant. When he served Saul he pursued his enemies. When he became King of Israel he pursued and led in many battles.
Yet in 2 Samuel 11 we see in the spring when kings go out to war, David stayed behind. He delegated his calling to Joab his army commander. As leaders we need to delegate authority. We need to delegate tasks. However, we should never delegate calling. God has a specific plan and purpose for your life and you and I cannot delegate that to others.
You cannot delegate your prayer life. You cannot delegate sharing your faith. You can not delegate obedience to God's voice. You cannot delegate the role that God has called you to. You and I are called to pursue the very role or calling he has placed on our lives.
What has God called you to do in His Word? What has God called you to do in ministry? What has God called you to do at home? What has called called you to do in your community? Whatever he has called you to do pursue it with all of your heart! If you are not pursuing God's calling you will find yourself pursuing other things like David. When you pursue other things, the results will not be what you truly wanted for your life. Pursue God and his calling on your life!
