Be Bothered

It is easier to serve or work for God without a vision and without a call, because then you are not bothered by what He requires. Common sense, covered with a layer of Christian emotion, becomes your guide. You may be more prosperous and successful from the world's perspective, and will have more leisure time, if you never acknowledge the call of God. But once you receive a commission from Jesus Christ, the memory of what God asks of you will always be there to prod you on to do His will. (Oswald Chambers, My Utmost for His Highest)

If you doubt that God can and wants to use you, or aren't sure if He has called you to do what you are doing for Him right now ~ the first step is to tap into your relationship with Christ and make sure your direct line to Him is connected and operating. That means getting into the Word, listening for and to Him, and praying. The next step is to be aware of your gifts and strengths. Whether you are called to work in a church or secular setting, the Lord does have a specific call on your life, which may or may not change with time and place.

Who knows but that you are here for a time such as this? Be bothered, severely bothered, by what the Lord calls you to do. It will bring Him glory and will bring you much joy in serving Him.
