When God calls

Loyalty to God and his call on your life is very important. But many are afraid of this call just as Gideon experienced. In judges 6, we read that the mighty hero once wavered. He asked for a sign using dew and a wool. True to His word, God performed the sign Gideon demanded. Thus confirming companionship with him.

James 1:5 warns us “if any of you lacks wisdom, you should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to you. ⁶ But when you ask, you must believe and not doubt, because the one who doubts is like a wave of the sea, blown and tossed by the wind.” (NIV)

Have you experienced the same? Then take heart because the bible gave us an example of bravery - Joshua and Caleb. Among the 12 men Moses sent to scout the Promise Land, only two had the faith to declare victory. “The descendants of Anak are like grasshopper for Israel”, they blurted. Sword and shields are nothing compared to the favor of God. He granted triumph by handling the enemies to the hand of Israel. This is the victory no one can produce except God’s call. And sure enough, the result of their firm trust to God is a special possession allotted for them. These men gave us a great testimony of why we should be loyal to God and his call in our life. It is a result of relying on the Lord of heavens Armies, who fought for them, and will fight for you too.
