God is Actively Involved in All Creation: a Bright Future in My Vocation

Introduction

God has been actively involved in His creation from the time He made it to today’s society. Every Christian lives by this belief; I live by this belief and always have. This is the primary reason why I aspire to become a chaplain. I am deeply interested in how this belief is intertwined with the concept and responsibilities of being a chaplain. This essay will discuss how God is very active in all creation and how this belief will impact my future vocation.

God's Active Involvement in Creation

God created the heavens and earth in six days (Genesis 1:1-31, New International Version). “So God created mankind in his own image, in the image of God he created them; male and female he created them” (Genesis 1:27, New International Version). He made us in His image, raised us from the dust of the earth, and breathed life into us. ”May the glory of the Lord endure forever; may the Lord rejoice in his works” (Psalm 104:31, New International Version), God delights in what He has made from the beginning of time until now.

God has always been involved in all that He has made, from the time of Adam and Eve until now. He has used unique men and women of the Bible for His purpose and will. He has stayed with them through their failures and triumphs, always by their side. God even uses Satan and his demons in His master plans, such as when Job had everything taken away from him to demonstrate that God’s children will praise Him even at their lowest point. Satan had no idea God was using him to make a significant impact on Job’s life. God has always been at work in the life of all His creation and will continue to be until the time Jesus returns.

My Calling to Become a Chaplain

I believe God has called me to become a chaplain, to be in the line of ministry. He has given me the heart to help those in need come closer to Him, constantly molding my life for this very reason. As Romans 12:8 (New International Version) states, “If your gift is to encourage, then give encouragement; if it is giving, then give generously; if it is to lead, do it diligently; if it is to show mercy, do it cheerfully.” This is my gift, my life, my heart, and my career; this is my calling from the Lord, and I am going to answer that call.

This call that God has placed in my life is one that can be used to help fulfill His ultimate plan. I will be able to help others in their time of need, ministering to them. I will be able to emulate what Jesus did by ministering to those around Him and sharing the good news of the Gospel. Speaking to others about the love of Christ and how He gave us His most precious gift (John 3:16, New International Version) will be a cornerstone of my career. My vocation will be based on ministering to others about the belief that God is alive and actively involved in the lives of all He has made.

Conclusion

Lastly, God made all that is in heaven above and all that is here on the earth below. He had and still has a plan for all that He created, “For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future” (Jeremiah 29:11, New International Version). He gave His Son to die on a cross for our sins. Does that sound like a God who is not involved in any part of His creation? The answer is no. God has always been there and always will be for those who need, call, and trust in Him. This belief will help me to be successful in fulfilling what God has planted in my heart to be.
