Day 192 – How will you answer the Call?
Today’s Reading: Isaiah 4 – 8
“And I heard the voice of the Lord saying, “Whom shall I send, and who will go for us?” Then I said, “Here I am! Send me.””Isaiah 6:8.
Everyone has a call on their life, but not everyone accepts it. However, as soon as you make Christ your LORD and Savior, you are saying “yes” to whatever the Call is.
The first step in fulfilling the call is salvation; then afterwards comes sanctification where Christ begins to work out the calling on your life until it is completed.
There are parts to everyone’s calling that are the same. First, we must love God with all of our heart, soul, and mind. Once we have completely committed our love to Him we can then love our neighbors as we love ourselves.
Our neighbors aren’t just the people next door, but they also include anyone we come in contact with and with social media our area of reach is expanded world wide.
In loving well we will choose to lay down our own selfish desires and ambitions and follow Christ daily. This means focusing on what He wants from us, not what we want for ourselves. At this point, He will call us further into uncomfortable places that are filled with His presence. We will know where He wants us to go and what He wants us to do by the desires He places in our hearts. These desires will match the Words God has written in His Book and spoken through His Holy Spirit. Christ will use the wisdom of others to affirm our call, and signs and messages to encourage us onward. When we feel the call, and He speaks to our heart, “Who will I send,” claim with your heart and speak with your mouth, “Send me.”
One of my greatest privileges has been accepting the call Christ has on me. I never know where it will take me, but I am always willing to go. Don’t let the call of Christ pass you by. Let Him work in you and through you, and the peace that surpasses all understanding will be at work in your heart…..Here I am Lord; Send me!
