Our Calling

Do you feel inadequate because of age, education or talent? God will not lead you where He cannot help you! But God does not lead you where He does not need you!

Everyone who is called by My name whom I have created for My glory, I have formed him. Yes, I have made him (Isaiah 43:7).

Now, we are ambassadors for Christ! (2 Corinthians 5:20)

God not only expects me to do His will, but He is in me to do it! (Oswald Chambers)

For the battle is the Lord’s (1 Samuel 17:47).

I realize that whatever God does will last forever. Nothing can be added to it, and nothing can be taken away from it. God does this so that people will fear Him (Ecclesiastes 3:14).

He died for all people so that those who live should no longer live for themselves, but for the Man who died and was brought back to life for them (2 Corinthians 5:15).

Listen to Christ rather than the voices of men. Jesus says you can’t please men and still be a servant of God. Those who listen and follow Christ will be received into heaven by the pierced hands of the One who knows the freedom of giving up what you cannot own in order to receive what no one can take away.

The [note with its regulations, decrees, and demands] He set aside and cleared it completely out of our way by nailing it to [His] Cross. [God] disarmed the principalities and powers that were ranged against us and made a bold display and public example of them, in triumphing over them in Him [Christ Jesus], and in it [the Cross] (Colossians 2:14-15).

God’s favor has been given to each of us. It was measured out to us by Christ who gave it (Ephesians 4:7).

To Him the gatekeeper opens the gate, and the sheep hear His voice, and He calls His own sheep by name and leads them out. And when He puts forth His own sheep, He goes before them, and the sheep follow Him, for they know His voice (John 10:3-4).

Cattle are driven, sheep are led. God did not and does not drive His people. Rather, He leads the way Himself and enables His followers to come after Him.

For God is not the author of confusion but of peace (1 Corinthians 14:33).

The Healer knows our hurts; He voluntarily became one of us. Why? So that when you hurt you will go to Him – your Father and Physician – and let Him heal you.

Remember, God has perfect timing.

I know that my Redeemer lives! And that in the end He will stand upon the earth. And after my skin has been destroyed, yet in my [new] flesh will see Him. I myself will see Him with my own eyes – I, and not another [for me]. How my heart yearns within me!!! (Job 19:25-27)

No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loves us. For I am convinced that neither death nor life, nor angels nor demons, nor the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation will be able to separate us from the love of God… (Romans 8:37-39)

For in Him we live and move and have our being. As some of your own poets have said: “We are His offspring” (Acts 17:28).

Your life is entwined with the God who gave you birth.  Frail dust, remember you are splendor!

God transformed you into a new creation.  Live like it!
