The Call of God (1 of 3)
Series: Kaleo
Joey Rodgers
Romans 12:1-2
A man went to his doctor complaining he was in pain all over his body. The doc asked, ''Where specifically do you hurt?'' The man replied, ''All over.'' So the doctor told him to touch his shoulder. He did and cried out in pain. He told him to touch his forehead - he did and was brought to tears. The doc told him to touch his knee, and the man nearly collapsed under the pain. So after a thorough examination, the doctor concluded, ''The reason you're in pain everywhere you touch is b/c you have a dislocated finger!''
You may laugh/scoff at the absurdity of this story, but sadly, too many of us basically are doing the same thing. Many of us feel like everything in our lives is wrong - that things are out of sorts; yet the truth is just one thing isn't right. But this ONE thing affects everything. What is it? We're trying to live life independent of our Divine purpose/calling. We're trying to live life independent of God.
Unfortunately, words like - purpose, meaning, design, and calling... seem elusive to most of us b/c we're just trying to make it thru another day following our own agenda. And yet these words are critical to answering some of life's most important questions - Why am I here? What's my value? Does God have a plan for me?
This AM I want to interrupt our series in 1 Peter to embark on a journey to help us grasp and begin experiencing and expressing God's will/calling in our lives.
I urge you, brothers, in view of God's mercy, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God - this is your true and proper worship. Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is-his good, pleasing and perfect will. Rm. 12:1-2
NOTE - God has a will. A good, pleasing, and perfect will. And it is a will He wants us to know and experience.
