ANSWER THE CALL

I have recently been ruminating on listening to God's Call. More than once I have been struck by either hearing a challenge or message at church, and on the radio, encouraging me to go deeper, hunger more, chase after, and follow God more than I am now. This is heady stuff.



I am not complacent or even lacking in my faith or Christian walk. But I want more. There is a hunger that God has placed in me and the Spirit is stirring it up.



I read about Elisha today and how he wanted to double portion of the spirit that Elijah had. This came with great responsibility and God even mentioned that this is a "difficult" request - not for God to perform but for Elisha to handle. So what am I getting myself into? No more than what God says I can handle or He will make a way. It is scary, risky, exciting, and real.



"Lord, that you even consider me worthy to be used by you is a privilege and honor. I want to serve you the best that I can. Find me faithful in the little things so that You can use me in bigger things. I lay my life down at your feet, use me as You will. My will is to do Your will. - Amen."



"You will seek Me and find Me when you seek Me with all your heart. I will be found by you" (Jeremiah 29:13-14a).
