Ok so I haven't done this in a while and I have a very valid reason.
You know when you start something and it gets to be an obsession. I started the blog and was so worried about numbers and viewership, that I lost sight of why I started in the first place. I really felt led by the Holy Spirit to stop and get my priorities straight.
Now in bearing my weakness to you I want to encourage, maybe even just one of you today that you ARE called. Not from men nor through man!
You are called by Jesus Christ and God the father who raised Him from the dead.
I have been working through the book of Galatians and there are so many statements and corrections that Paul makes to the church at Galatia. But he starts the book off by reaffirming his call. He makes sure to say that his calling isn't man made or maintained by man but that is a call that was established by God and the Lord Jesus Christ.
My friend today this scripture is for you. You may be going through a season of drought and questioning God. You my be criticized by friends and family about your call. Take heart today that you have a call that is established by God himself. With your call comes the anointing. With this anointing you are equipped by God to do what he has planned for you to do.
The book of Galatians primarily deals with grace but also gives us a good understanding of the road less traveled, yet Paul did just that. He was in training and sharpening his ministry tools for 17 years before he went to meet with all the apostles. Your season is at hand and God is sharpening you up. Don't lose sight of that.
With much love
Pastor Chris.
