The Call

God calls. Do we hear? God calls us by name. Do we discern his calling us? Do you hear the call of God on your life? Have you responded to Him yet? Have you responded, as the Prophet Eli told young Samuel to respond… saying, “Here I am Lord”? There are many reasons or causes for our ill response. First, we may not even know the Lord is calling at all. Second, we may hear something or some spiritual voice calling, but we do not recognize it as the Lord, rather some deeper need within us? Third, we may be so caught up in activity and things that we can’t hear anything other than our own little world and its voices. Still God is calling. He always will. He always does. You are on his list. He is calling you this day; at this very hour. Pray thee that you hear the precious and persistent call of the Almighty this day. Amen.
Prayer of the Week: Almighty God, you who continually call your people to yourself, draw us by the power of your Holy Spirit into such a warm and binding relationship that we may faithfully follow you all the days of our lives. We pray in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.
