Sometimes God calls His people to do things
beyond the comprehension of this world. Are
you feeling like God is calling you to do something radical? Are you being called to abandon safety and
leave comfort for uncertainty? Is this
radical call not making any sense to you, your family, or your friends?
I’ve been called to a life that doesn’t make
sense to the world because the career I have been lead to comes from a place
where no human living on this earth has ever been. When I decided to live/work by faith my
career began to revolve around whatever God wanted me to do for the advancement
of His kingdom. Position is no longer my
priority.
What I have begun to realize is that when I
begin to seek people for advice on how to complete this kingdom task, before
seeking God, or I seek validation for what I’m doing from people first, before
seeking it from God, I find myself completely confused, anxious, and
questioning if I am doing the right thing.
Then I feel like I have to explain myself to people because they don’t
get it, but their lack of understanding should come as no surprise.
Human beings speak on and process things they
can comprehend from this physical, worldly, fleshly realm only. But God, the Creator of the call and task, understands
it better than any human ever will. We
show how little we love God by preferring to listen to His servants only
instead of heeding His guidance.
I just
want to encourage you, and myself, not to allow our flesh and this world, that
can only comprehend earthly ideas, keep us from fulfilling this radical call of
obedience on our lives. Actions speak louder than words. Let your fruit show people you are fulfilling
the call on your life, and let’s stop wasting our time by feeling like we have
to explain ourselves. Followers of Jesus
don’t always know where they are going but they know who they are going
with. Live and work with confident trust
in the authority of Christ and the mission He is calling and equipping you
for.
“Be anxious for nothing, but in everything, by
prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your request be known to God. And the peace of God, WHICH SURPASSES ALL
COMPREHENSION, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.”
Philippians 4:6-7
“But this is what I commanded them, saying,
‘Obey My voice, and I will be your God, and you will be My people; and you will
walk in all the way which I command you, that it may be well with you.’”
~Jeremiah 7:23
