VOCATION
“This is the doctrine of vocation. God works through people, in their ordinary stations of life to which He has called them, to care for His creation. In this way, He cares for everyone–Christian and non-Christian–whom He has given life. Luther puts it even more strongly: Vocations are “masks of God.” On the surface, we see an ordinary human face–our mother, the doctor, the teacher, the waitress, our pastor–but, beneath the appearances, God is ministering to us through them. God is hidden in human vocations.”
