More music, more inspiration. Some songs I have been listening to lately have been singing about hearing/heeding The Call. What call you may be asking. The call from Jesus. They sing about Him calling you. Calling you into what exactly? That depends on you. What your giftings are. Where He can use you most effectively!
Maybe He is calling you into to being a street evangelist! Having you stand on public sidewalks and proclaim Him and His Gospel. Tell people about Jesus! Give testimony.
Maybe He is calling you into full time ministry. To be a pastor at a church. To lead His flock.
Maybe a missionary. Calling you into a different part of the world. A part that doesn't know Him. Never met a Christian let alone ever heard about Jesus! Or calling you to be a missionary at your work place, or school. Don't have to leave the country to be a missionary.
Calling you into being a chaplain of some sort. Hospital, military, police dept, fire dept. Hospice. Home care. Wherever He needs you.
A team chaplain. Football, baseball, basketball, hockey. Those are the big four. Could be a high school or college chaplain.
Maybe He's calling you to be a husband or wife. Calls you to be a parent. That is a high calling. To trust you with raising a child or children. They don't exactly come with instruction manuals! To be a step parent. To step in when one of the birth parents are unable to.
Maybe He is calling you to be a business owner. To run and operate in the community and show God's love to others by how you run it.
To be a great employee. To show up to work everyday on time.
Colossians 3:23 Amplified Bible
23 Whatever you do [whatever your task may be], work from the soul [that is, put in your very best effort], as [something done] for the Lord and not for men,
To go above and beyond what they ask of you.
Matthew 5:41 New Living Translation
41 If a soldier demands that you carry his gear for a mile, carry it two miles.
So my question to you is this. Are you listening? Will you heed The Call. The Call that God has placed on your heart, your life? Keep your ears tuned into what The Lord is saying or calling us to.
God bless.
Rev. Kev.
