Die Hintergrundgeschichte zum Song: When God is truly at work in you, your vocation automatically commences. You lay aside every weight that makes you drift away from him (Hebrews 12:1), you die to self (Galatians 2: 20-21) and count every earthly gain as losses except Christ who is the living Word (Philippians 3:8). This equally happens when you are saved, you pass the baton of salvation to the next person because you are expected to be saved in order to save others. Here, you become His friend and ultimately you are family. In our daily work with God, we are expected to wear the helmet and breast plate of salvation ( Ephesians6: 11-20). This is time to allow God's spirit invigorate us for the journey ahead because we have been called to serve. As the apple of His eyes and being engraved in his palm, we are equipped for our vocational journey of service in His vineyard and aaayred that He has us under His watch, thus safety in service is inevitable! This has been my experience and i am still working the journey to becoming more available for his use.
