How do we recognize God's calling in our lives?

Understanding God's calling in our lives necessitates a heart set on obedience and attentiveness to His guidance. Just as Jonah received a clear command to go to Nineveh, we too can discern God’s plan through scripture, prayer, and the inner workings of the Holy Spirit. It’s imperative to remain spiritually alert, as Jonah's experience demonstrates that failing to heed God's voice can lead to dire consequences, not just for oneself but also for others (1 Kings 18:21). Engaging with fellow believers for counsel and direction can also be beneficial in recognizing how God may be leading us to fulfill His purposes.
