Today many people see the calling of God to do something but that is not how we should first see the call of God. Paul was called to be an apostle not just to do the work of an apostle.
We are first called to a person, Jesus Christ. Our calling always begins here.
Second we are called to be. We always want to do something but Jesus asks us to be something. We want to work for Him but He wants us to live in such away as to bring glory to His name.
It is always easier to do something than to be something. We seek God's calling as to what we should do, where we should live, who we should marry etc. but that is always secondary to the calling to be. Paul was called to be an apostle. He was first an apostle before he could do the work of an apostle.
