Willing To Fulfill The Call Of God In Your Life

I heard the voice of the Lord, saying: "Whom shall I send, and who will go for Us?" —Isaiah 6:8

When you think of someone being called by God .. hearing God’s voice … do you think of Isaiah, Moses, Abraham, Paul? Do you ever think of yourself as being among that group?  I would guess probably not.  It would be like a duffer in golf comparing themselves to Tiger Woods.  Not even in the same class.  Perhaps, but in the case of God’s call, your thinking would be wrong. Way wrong.  Don’t confuse your role in the mission with your calling.  God gives us different things to do, some seem small compared to others, but God decides that, not us.  

And those he predestined, he also called; those he called, he also justified; those he justified, he also glorified. What, then, shall we say in response to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us? - Romans 8:30-31 

What do you say in response?  “Oh, I could never be like : (fill in the blank)”  We are all being conformed into the image of Jesus. We are called into new life.  We have a common mission but diverse roles in that mission.

Our problem is making that Truth important in our every-day lives. Do you live each moment with an awareness that you are called by God?  Not for the sake of pride but are you living in awe of what God has done in you by grace through faith. (Ephesians 2:8-9)

God has given you a place of ministry in the place where you are right now.  The question is, will you be found faithful or will you focus on living life on this planet .. doing the best you can to get along with your new nature running in the background.  My point, as Christians, we have been called to so much more than that.  And you don’t have to travel to a foreign land to experience it.  

“For we [YOU] are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us [YOU] to do.”  - Ephesians 2:10

We all must accept that truth and live in it by faith, just like Isaiah, Moses, Abraham, and Paul.

Think about it – Pray about it – Believe it – Walk in it. Let your light shine and give God the glory.

By Faith Alone By His Grace Alone And For His Glory Alone
