The right way to do the right thing

The word "calling" has been like a keyword throughout the entire Yunnan trip. It's the word on the minds of two of my friends, shawn and Olivia.

Both of them went on the trip to discover what their calling is, a move I thoroughly approve as I deem it to be biblical. The basis for this is Romans 12:1-2

I appeal to you therefore, brothers,[a] by the mercies of God, to present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, which is your spiritual worship.[b] 2 Do not be conformed to this world,[c] but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect.[d]

The verse stresses the need to test in discerning what the will of God is. I guess their trip this time round is indeed a taster in the world of missions, something they ought to do in the process of discerning the will of God.

This prompted me to pick up my bible to read chapter 12 today. Who knew, as I read, I read till the back of chapter 12 which talked about gifts. There was this curious portion of verses 6-8

6 Having gifts that differ according to the grace given to us, let us use them: if prophecy, in proportion to our faith; 7 if service, in our serving; the one who teaches, in his teaching; 8 the one who exhorts, in his exhortation; the one who contributes, in generosity; the one who leads,[f] with zeal; the one who does acts of mercy, with cheerfulness.

Aha, let me draw you to verse 8. The one who contributes is to do it in a generous manner, the one who lead is to do it in a zealous manner and the one who does acts of mercy to be cheerful as he does them.

My eyes were caught by the leading part. Being the leader of youth fellowship in church now, this verse really made me ask myself a question: have I been leading zealously, in diligence and enthusiasm?
I think I have much to work on that aspect. I picked up my phone and asked the committee out for a dinner together. I think it's been a long time since we've all met, with the Malaysian girls gone while awaiting their work permit and me, removed for 2 weeks because of Yunnan.
I ought to be more diligent in my leading. Oh God take my thoughts captive to you, that I may be thinking for, and of, them. That I no longer permit my mind to wander aimlessly.

Help me to do the right thing with the right attitude, yea, to lead zealously.
