Excellent!

You can't tell the watchman not to watch, the teacher not to teach, the healer not to heal, the prophet not to prophesy.

But sometimes we are not where we are supposed to be because we are forcing a square peg into a round hole. Not all can teach, not all can prophecy, not all can heal, we have been given different gifts and measures of grace according to our calling.

Find your groove, it should bring you peace and joy not frustration and aggravation. That's not to say it will always be a bed of roses but if on top of being frustrated you are not succeeding it may be time to reconsider what God wants for you.

The gospel on X is not for everyone, but neither is any other specific calling. Some, for example, cannot visit the sick but are able to teach children. It's not that X is special it's that our gifts match where we need to be, and if you lack the ones for any given 'job' then you will not find success and it's vanity and vexation of spirit to force it.

Even if you have found your home base it's good to take breaks. It takes humility to sit one out and say "God has this one". Our zeal for truth can easily turn to pride in our work.

God bless our people with patience humility and the courage to make the right decisions. In Jesus name we pray, Amen.

Observe your emotional reactions when you spend time on social media. Do you often find yourself upset, outraged, or depressed and anxious? This is intentional. It can be to keep us engaged on the platform, making companies ad revenue money, or something more deeply sinister. Social media is controlling your perception of the world, telling you that God is not sovereign and that there is no hope. This is false. Be careful here.
