Calling

Jime-e-e. That is how my mother used to call me when I was a little boy. Of course I did didn't want to come in so I never came on the first call and if I was especially having fun it would be the third time.

How many times does God have to call you before you answer?

Do you say: "Is that really God calling?  Surely God doesn't want me!"

Of course you and I both know if we would just spend more time in His Word and in prayer that we wouldn't have so much trouble recognizing God's voice when he calls.

And did you know that he calls often?  And did you know he's calling you to do something you're not comfortable doing?

Stop. Listen.  Is that God calling now?
