"Only let each person lead the life that the Lord has assigned to him, and to which God has called him." This verse presents the idea that one's vocation in life is a “calling” that comes from God. The Apostle Paul declares that one's way of life is a vocational calling from God that He has assigned to that person. In the following verses Paul elaborates on how God calls people to Himself who are in various situations in life related to their socio-economic status (slave or free), family status (divorced or married), and religious affiliation (circumcised or uncircumcised). God has a plan and purpose for you when you are saved; therefore, you should be content with whatever situation you are in when you are saved because that is where your calling and assignment from God begins (vs. 20, 24).
