HIS CALL TO LIFE

Luke 4:21
“Today this Scripture passage is fulfilled in your hearing.”
-----------------------------------------

The whole attitude of faith in God is one of trusting when things make little or no sense to our own way of thinking. As human beings, we have a certain kind of understanding about how the world should work. Our understanding comes from the ways we happen to perceive things, and from the experiences we have. It could also be based on things that we learned from other people or by reading books that were written by men.

But only God knows how all things truly work together. As we understand the universe, such things are impossible. But nothing is impossible with God, who knows all things and gives accurate meaning and reality to all of life. The perspective that God has is superior to our own.

When God says that a thing is true, then we can and should believe it, no matter how impossible or strange it might seem to us. When God calls us to a certain way of life and to a certain path of faith, we need to listen to that call and obey the Lord — even if it makes little or no sense at all to our rational minds.

Because God knows what is real and true about human nature, about life on earth, and about eternity itself. The Bible, in many places, encourages us to believe God, to walk by faith, to be true to whatever God is saying — even when the whole world seems to be opposing God's message. The Bible makes it clear that God's ways and thoughts are better than ours. In fact, it says that very thing for it is the wisdom of God, inspired by God for us to learn, understand, appreciate and share with others.

Let us pray +

Almighty Father, I know I have a choice to make, and I take the path of faith instead of the path of unbelief. I commit my ways to You and put my trust in You for everything. Teach and give me sound wisdom and good instruction for my life so I may be happier and greatly blessed. For your power is truly great and my life is for You alone.

Amen +

The Lord comes to judge the earth.
