Decline Not His Call

There are alot of times when we're in the middle of a cross-road not knowing where we should go or what God wants us to do. At times like this, we pray earnestly or seek frustratingly for a direction. We're keen on any little guide or pointers He may have for us. Sounds familiar....

However, there are also times when we're sure that God is talking to us, yet we tend to ignore because we simply don't feel like obeying. That small still voice that tends to nudge at our hearts, prompting us to do certain things or go certain ways.. Sometimes, it annoys us slightly.. enough to make us to not take heed.

Alot of times, following God's plan seems good when it goes with our plan, or when we don't have a plan. However, we may tend to decline God's call to follow His plan when it interrupt our plan, when we have the near future lay out in front of us and we just want to do exactly that to achieve exactly what we want.

Even though we know it in our head that God's plan is always the best, sometimes we just forget. Therefore, we have to remind ourselves everyday, to follow Him. We never know what, where and when He can use us. What it might mean to other people when we do this little thing God ask us to do. How others may benefit if we can just listen to Him and go a little out of our way for people. Faith, is answering His call everyday even though we may not know what's gonna happen next.

Do not screen and decline His call like how we'd do with our cellphone's incoming call. Put His line at the priority. Listen and obey. Lives will change, ours and others.

"Jesus replied, “Anyone who loves me will obey my teaching" (John 14:23a).
