The Vocational Calling Flower: From seeking to finding

Wild Oat

Indecisive of direction

Restlessness

Dissatisfaction, uncertainty, longing

Those who have ambitions to do something of prominence in life, who wish to have much experience, and to enjoy all that which is possible for them, to take life to the full. Their difficulty is to determine what occupation to follow; as although their ambitions are strong, they have no calling which appeals to them above all others. This may cause delay and dissatisfaction.

Reflection

Wild Oat reflects an unclear calling. Many paths have been tried, and none yet feels like the work a person was made to do. Scripture says we are God's workmanship, created in Christ for good works He prepared beforehand. A calling is often found by faithful work in the place already given, while asking God to direct the next turn.

Scripture

Ephesians 2:10 (KJV). "For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them."

Meditation

Father, I am Your workmanship. Show me the good work in front of me now, and direct the path I cannot yet see.
