He
calls me, and I am to obey. "God’s gifts and his call are irrevocable"
(Romans 11:29). Whatever comes against me will not succeed if I stay
focused on His purpose.
There will be hard times, but I must
keep calm in His never-changing purpose and unlimited power. If I lose
my peace for even a moment, I must give Him my unrest, and my struggle. I
must regain His peace (Philippians 4:6-7). I can accomplish nothing
when I am upset and in a quandary. In giving Him all that I face, I get
rid of my selfish needs, and concentrate on His purpose for me.
I will never believe that I cannot do something He has called me to do.
The one who called me is faithful, and He will do the work (1
Thessalonians 5:24). His work is only accomplished by His spirit working
through me.
Focusing on His call, I will concentrate on the
daily things which must be done to work toward His vision. If I lose the
focus, I will lose the purpose for my life. If I rush the work to
attain His purpose, I will become discouraged by the immensity of it
all. Daily I lay down my cross, and ask Him to come, and lead. In these
moments I know that one day, I will understand it all. I don't have to
know now. I will know then, and that is enough for my journey.
