Called

1/16/2020
Isaiah 6:8

My dad was a sailor, and although many people feel a connection to the sea, he was called by it. It became a part of him; he was attuned to and truly understood the nature of its beauty and awesome power. For my dad, the call of the sea was both difficult and glorious, a place of both longing for what he left behind, and peace and tranquility for his soul.

Being called by God can often be difficult as well, but it is always glorious. We too often miss what we leave behind, yet are brought to a peace only found in Him.

When we are called to a life of service for God, we connect to His nature. We are welcomed into a relationship with the awesome power of the Creator, and our souls and lives are eternally changed.  We need to listen to Him fully through His Holy Word, and pray for our spirits to be aligned and attuned with His alone; this is the greatest gift. Chambers says, "To be brought into the zone of the call of God is to be profoundly altered."
