Use
Me?
God Calling Me?
I am Shocked!
Sometimes
we are reluctant to do God's will. We
find i
t
inconvenient. We are too busy. We feel
uncomfortable. At such times we are
tempted to ignore God and hope He goes
away. When he doesn't, we may even try
to justify our reluctance with our own
sense of insecurity or even our sense of
inferiority. Possibly, you feel that God
may be asking you to do the impossible.
When
God called Moses to lead the Israelites
out of Egypt, he replied, O Lord, please
send someone else to do it! Exodus 4:13.
When God called Jeremiah to be a
prophet, he replied, ...I do not know
how to speak... Jeremiah 1:6. The list
goes on. The apostles were unschooled,
ordinary men. Timothy was young, frail
and frightened. Paul's thorn in the
flesh made him feel weak. But God's
response to all of His servants,
including you, is essentially the same:
My grace is sufficient... (2 Corinthians
12:9). Relax! God helped these people in
spite of their weaknesses, and He can
and will help you in spite of your sense
of inadequacy.
No
gifts, no learning, no imagination can
assist us to usefulness. There must come
upon our hearts the sense of divine
presence and power. The Holy presence of
God must be considered the only exercise
that assures victory over our fear of
being used personally by God. Any other
consideration is certain to abandon us
to the wasteland of uselessness. God's
Calling Is Without Repentance.
Sincerely, Dr. Arthur Belanger
