Answering the Call
A Life of Obedience
“He said to them, Go into all the world and preach the good news to all creation.” Mark 16:15 (NIV) These powerful words have inspired countless individuals to spread the message of God’s love. For Laura, this calling was clear, but the path to fulfilling it was not without its challenges.
A Divine Encounter
Over 30 years ago, Laura attended Bible camp, where she believed God called her to full-time service. This experience sparked a fire within her, leading her to pursue Bible school soon after. However, financial struggles and misguided advice led her down a different path. Despite her outward success, Laura felt unfulfilled and disobedient to God.
A Heart of Disobedience
Laura’s story is not unique. Many of us have felt the call of God, only to put it on hold due to fear, doubt, or uncertainty. We may think we’re too busy, too old, or too inexperienced, but the truth is, God can use anyone, regardless of their circumstances. So, what’s holding you back?
Taking the First Step
If you’ve been putting God on “call waiting,” it’s time to take action. Begin by immersing yourself in God’s Word, seeking guidance and wisdom. Pray fervently, asking God to reveal His plan for your life. Look for opportunities to serve, no matter how small they may seem. Don’t be discouraged by setbacks or doubts – instead, seek the counsel of mature believers who can offer valuable insight and support.
A Life of Purpose
Following God’s call is not always easy, but it is worth it. When we obey God’s leading, we experience a sense of purpose and fulfillment that cannot be found elsewhere. So, take the first step today. Answer the call, and watch how God can use you to make a difference in the world.
