I remember the day The Lord showed me to quit my job to be a stay at home mom. I was fearful and not sure how we would survive on one income , but I was sure of one thing... I was being called.
In the middle of worship ,my then five year old turned around with his hands lifted up and said " we should do a worship night with all the families and teachers of our school." I wasn't sure how it would happen, if anyone would come, but I was sure of one thing... We were being called.
She felt the Lord stirring up her heart to participate in organizing a prayer vigil for pastor Saeed and the persecuted church. She wasn't sure how it would happen in a short time, who would come, but she was sure of one thing.... She was being called.
The calling in each of these scenarios are different, however there are a few things that remain the same...
1. There is a calling.
2. There is fear and doubt when been being called.
3. Faith and obedience is required is required.
The bible says that many are called but only few are willing. Have you ever had a time when you are really trying to get a hold of someone and they are just not picking up the phone? It's frustrating right? And there is nothing worse than missing a call of a blessing to go to a free concert or a game to your favorite teams game.
Here is one thing I know, when we do not pick up the phone when the Lord is calling there is the potential to miss out on the blessing. Even if the calling seems to feel like a burden or laborsome.
Rick Yancey, says this "God doesn't call the equipped, son. God equips the called. And you have been called.'
Big or small, the Lord has a calling on your life to fulfill the purpose for either you or someone else. What I love about the Lord is that he spares no resources to fulfill his will in our lives. The question is will you answer his call?
It can be scary, but speaking from experience the only calling I have regretted stepping out on faith on, is the ones that I have been to fearful to get outta the boat.
If God is calling you, go! Take Him by the hand and go! He's got you! Trust Him then thank Him that He has called you worthy!
