A brief recap:
- He Reveals Himself: God revealed himself to Moses. God has revealed himself to us so that we may know him.
- He Calls Us For Life: God was calling Samuel. God has a plan and He calls us. We need to be like Samuel and say “Here I am. You called me! I am listening!”
- He Stretches Us: God's calls aren’t always fun, aren’t always what we want or think should happen. Jesus helps us to be strong, growing, flexible. Be willing to stretch for God’s work.
- He Accomplishes Great Things: Great things are not always accomplished through huge, elaborate platforms. Most times, it is just living everyday trying to do what is right in God’s eyes.
What I do know is that there is a plan, and YOU are part of
it! So what I am going to do is CHALLENGE YOU! What I want you to say is
CHALLENGE ACCEPTED! Be completely willing to answer the challenge for you.
If you don’t think that God has revealed himself to you, If
God has already revealed himself to you, listen for his call. There is SOMETHING
that you are being called to do. Maybe it’s to help a family member or friend.
Maybe it’s to get more involved in church ministries. Maybe you know what he’s
been asking you to do, and you’re resisting, and making God be a disturber. Whatever
he is calling you to do, do it. That is my challenge. Stretch with him. He will
help you grow, and as you stretch, you will do great things in His name. From Romans 15:
4 For everything that was written in the past was written to teach us, so that through the endurance taught in the Scriptures and the encouragement they provide we might have hope.
5 May the God who gives endurance and encouragement give you the same attitude of mind toward each other that Christ Jesus had, 6 so that with one mind and one voice you may glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.
