Call of Wisdom

God is calling all who will listen

Have you heard from God lately? No? When was the last time you called upon Him? God says in (Jeremiah 33:3) “Call to Me, and I will answer you, and show you great and mighty things, which you do not know.” Unlike the way we may treat family or friends; “I’m not calling him or her until they call me first!” WE DON’T TREAT GOD THIS WAY! We don’t wait for God, creator of heaven and earth to get in touch with us before we call on Him. Not if we expect to get the best results for our lives. We are to call upon Him for everything, to include Him in all; I said ALL, our decisions! From the very beginning we were not created for our pleasure but His. He does want us to be in constant communication with Him – including Him in everything we do.

God has called us with a holy calling, not according to our works, but according to His own purpose and grace which was given to us in Christ Jesus, before time began. In (Genesis 1:26) God said to the other two persons of the Holy Trinity (Christ Jesus and His Holy Spirit) “Let us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness…” So, we should understand we were intended to have a direct, perfect relationship with all three from the moment of our creation. Yes, and we know, we failed our Maker in the garden. Mercifully, He provided a way for our redemption though, so we could continue to communicate with Him.

God continues to call to us. Are you listening? Are you seeking Him? From His Word, I am repeating what Jethro, father-in-law to Moses,  said in (Exodus 18:19) “Listen now to my voice; I will give you counsel, and God will be with you.” What I am saying is don’t wait for Him (God) to call upon you…instead, call upon Him.

Always seek God first! (Isaiah 55:6) instructs, “Seek the Lord while He may be found, call upon Him while He is near.” When you trust Christ, you trust the God of the entire universe. Speak to God; to Jesus; or the Holy Spirit; They are one and the same person, but speak. On this you can rely – no matter what lies ahead for you, God is sovereign and in control of your life. His wisdom will be your wisdom should you choose to call upon Him, and make Him the most important part of your life!

Our Walk With God

“Listen, my son, accept what I say, and the years of your life will be many. I guide you in the way of wisdom and lead you along straight paths. When you walk, your steps will not be hampered, when you run, you will not stumble” (Proverbs 4:10-12). Our lives are built upon our first step, and   then proceed step after step after step thereafter. As infants we learn to crawl, then stand and eventually to walk to the waiting hands of our proud fathers and mothers. Our walking skills can develop into running skills; some of us will go on to run races, some will even run long distance marathons, but it all begins first with our desire to walk. The Lord tells us to listen to what He says to us through His Holy Spirit and the years of our lives will be many; as we go through life, our steps will not be hampered; when we hurry through our impossible daily schedules and race through our lives, we will not stumble.   All successful runners have a professional trainer, our trainer is none less

Day before yesterday, I cooked up a pot of "killer" chili. Yeah, I know it's not winter and chili is better in the winter. I like chili all-year long. Well, my chili fixin' was killer alright, it tore our stomachs up something terrible. Yesterday, I was miserable all day. I was so wanting my day to be over - I wanted a new day without stomach problems. Every day, God allows us a "do-over" and we get a new chance at living. Today, thankfully, I am feeling over my chili malady and I (am) starting over. I have a new opportunity today to seek more of Jesus. First, I will pray for my family and friends that they see more of Jesus and that their lives and their today is better than yesterday. And then, I am praying our nation stops this political division and hatred that is sickening our people. God help us to love you more and realize without You we are lost. You are our new day and we praise You for it.

Sanctity Given

A person can’t accomplish sanctification by themselves no matter how much he or she studies the Word or desires this quality. It is not even something God would produce in you as something you would contemplate yourself. Instead it is the Holy Spirit, His Spirit of holiness alone, who can or will communicate His holiness and continue to renew the same in you. By our complete faith we become partakers of His holiness. It is Jesus who sanctifies us for God.  (1 Corinthians 1:30) says, “But of Him you are in Christ Jesus, who became for us wisdom from God – and righteousness and sanctification and redemption – that, as it is written, 'He who glories, let him glory in the Lord.'” We seek to surrender ourselves to God by faith, so He may enable us to live life moment by moment. By His Spirit, we are to believe the Lord will, lead us into, and keep us in, this life of holiness and consecration to God’s service. We choose to live in obedience of faith, listening to God’s voice – the
