...it is God who works in you to will and to act in order to fulfill his good purpose. [Philippians 2:13]
While the context here is earthly salvation, it applies to your life in your vocation. If you're a student, His good purpose is for you to study well. If you're a teacher, His good purpose is for you to teach well. Whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God. (1 Corinthians 10:31)
"But Joel, how do I fulfill that? I'm not smart enough or capable enough!"
My friend, God will work in you to glorify His name. How? By helping you enjoy your job, to stir a passion in whatever vocation you are in, and this produces the ability to excel in that area. If you are a student, ask God for the joy for studying! If you are a full-time church worker, ask God for the joy of serving the church!
My friend, God will work in you, through you and for you!
