Answering the call...<br />
All you need to do is spend five minutes in your local<br />
village, town or city to really see how important our<br />
mobile phones have become in our lives. <strong>No</strong> matter<br />
where we are or what we are doing, if our phone rings<br />
we get an overwhelming urge to answer it. Thanks to<br />
technology, these days we normally see who is calling<br />
before we answer but still, we have the urge to know<br />
what they want. We have to answer. <strong>The</strong> thought<br />
occurs how our military hierarchy would react if we<br />
didn't answer our radio messages when they called us.<br />
<strong>The</strong> results would range from downright annoying to<br />
catastrophically dangerous. It really brings it home just<br />
how important it is to answer your calls.<br />
to come. I remember someone once telling me over<br />
and over "God knows what he is doing". As hard as it<br />
was to believe back then, she was right. <strong>No</strong>t so long<br />
ago, for me, everything dropped into place and made<br />
sense. <strong>The</strong> ups and downs, rights and wrongs, pain<br />
and suffering, everything became visible. I do know<br />
there is still a long way to go and an awful lot of works<br />
to do, my own personal battles are far from over but I<br />
do know he called. He has given me my task and<br />
showed me what I need to do. Sometimes I am not<br />
sure that I am strong enough or good enough to<br />
complete the task but hopefully, if I trust in him he will<br />
give me strength and guidance. I can only try and pray.<br />
So if you ever have the heartfelt urge to do something<br />
or ever wonder why events happen in a certain way,<br />
ask yourself if God is trying to call you. Is he trying to<br />
tell you something? <strong>The</strong> chances are, he is.<br />
Answer <strong>The</strong> Call!!<br />
Bible reading for this month can be found at<br />
Ephesians 1: 3-14<br />
Have you ever had this feeling in your heart that there<br />
is something you have to do or something you are<br />
meant to say? Have you ever felt that someone needs<br />
your help? <strong>The</strong> chances are when you get those<br />
feelings you are receiving a call through your spiritual<br />
phone. God is on the other end of the phone 24/7<br />
sending us messages when he wants to use us to<br />
carry out his work. When he sees suffering and knows<br />
you have the tools to help, he will call you. He may<br />
even use others to contact you. Something to bear in<br />
mind the next time you are being asked for help.<br />
Answering his calls may mean discomfort, pain,<br />
heartache or persecution but his plans will mean that<br />
suffering will be temporary and there are greater things<br />
