calling part 2: King, Moses and Obama

I sure hope more readers will comment on the questions on the first post on calling…

I just preached (it turned out to be preaching not giving a talk) on calling… we watched the scene from “The Mission” when the missionary climbed the mountain… and I talked about Dr. King and the President and the risk Dr. King took and the price he paid which, in a big way, enabled Obama to become president… King changed history… Obama has taken the fruit of that history and is seeking to use it to bring more change and even recovery to America and America’s ability to impact the world… he is a historic figure, how history views him remains to be seen, may God bless his efforts and decisions.

King answered a call from God… as did Moses… look to Exodus 3…

Moses was called by God after God got Moses attention…

Does God have our attention?

Are we connected enough to God that we will hear Him when He calls us?

How can He use your gifts?

Talents?

Your Passion?

Have you stopped long enough to understand yourself well enough to know these things?

Will you take the risk like King? Like Moses?

Remember this: God’s answer to Moses fear was this: “I will be with you.”

What more could we ask for?

STOP, LISTEN, GO!
