Finding Your Niche

It is cut out for just you-and you're made just for it!

Rest in your own nest

“As a bird that wandereth from her nest, so is a man that wandereth from his place. ~ Prov. 27:8

The word “niche” comes from the French, “to nest.’” Some of its definitions are: a recess in a wall; a cranny, or hollow place, as in a rock. But the meaning I want to apply to each of us is this: “a position well suited to a person who occupies it”.

I find many today, both young and old, who have never found their niche in life. And if they have, are not content with it, for one reason or the other

Happy is the man or woman who has found their God-ordained vocation. And happier are they who do not try to fit everyone else into it!

It’s a great injustice to others to put them on a guilt trip for not having the same zeal, vision, and burden as you do for your individual calling. To do so, spreads others so thin that they lose their own particular savor, thus leaving their talent tasteless

It is impossible to get personally involved in every ministry, regardless of how scriptural it may be. To support every worthy cause would leave one a pauper; and to pray for each of them, well, there are not enough hours in a day.

This is why it is so important to get God’s direction before getting involved in any of the many honorable causes in Christianity today. We are not to let our emotions, affections, or reason determine our involvement, but “the still, small voice” of God.

Paul wanted to go to Asia to preach the Word but was “…forbidden of the Holy Ghost.” Then he attempted to go to a place called Bithynia, “…but the Spirit suffered them not.” After this, in a night vision, the words came distinctly to him, “Come over into Macedonia, and help us.”

It seems we all must come to the end of our own human reasoning and night fall upon us, before we find our niche in this life.

If ‘niche’ means ‘nest,’ let us be happy in the one God made just for us.
