Have you let God’s call go to voicemail? Isn’t that an interesting question?
Our new associate pastor/pastoral care leader said that this was what led her into ministry. She had felt drawn to this profession most of her life, but pursued other avenues such as teaching and raising a family, always putting the “nudges” onto a back burner of her life, until one Sunday she heard a sermon with the title “Have You Let God’s Call Go To Voicemail?”
Monica said it had a profound effect on her and prompted her to answer “the Call” that had been a quiet and steady urging for years.
Yesterday, our church had the honor of inducting this dedicated woman as Associate Minister of the pastoral charge.
I, for one, am very happy that Monica retrieved God’s message, followed his guidance, and is now an integral part of St. Andrew’s.
Whether you turn to the right or to the left, your ears will hear a voice behind you saying, “This is the way, walk in it.” Isaiah 30:21 (NIV)
Have you let God’s call go to voicemail?
That’s a great question to ponder upon. And makes me side of concerned! 🙂
Why is that?😊
It made me think about all those moments in my life when maybe I might have turned on the voicemail rather than answering the call.
Thought so…but I sometimes think we may be living our call unawares. There are many forms of ministry.
