For the past two weeks, I’ve been over at Gloria Dei Lutheran Church talking about being on mission—stepping out of our comfort zones and
sharing our Christian faith with others when the opportunity presents itself.
Today, I’m there talking about
success…not how our world determines success, but how God looks at success.
Or does He?
Does God call us to be successful or does He call us to be
obedient?
When God calls, we have two choices—to follow Him, or ignore
the call.
Which will you choose?
I hope you’ll join me on the Gloria Dei blog to read
my post where I talk about when God called Jeremiah to be a prophet. (Hint:
Jeremiah’s excuse of why he wasn’t the right person sounds much like the excuses
we often give.)
How do you feel about God’s response to Jeremiah’s excuse,
and to our excuses?
In Christ,
Linking up with Winsome Wednesday, WholeHearted Home, Thought Provoking Thursday, Faith Filled Friday, and The Weekend Brew.
I love your thought that we are called to obey! How the world needs to learn this! We are examples to show and experience this obedience to the voice of the Holy Spirit. and to God's word.
ReplyDeleteThank you! So glad you stopped by and left a commment.
DeleteHi Laura,
ReplyDeleteGod would rather have obedience. 1 John 3:24 Whoever keeps his commandments abides in God, and God in him. And by this we know that he abides in us, by the Spirit whom he has given us.
I'm heading over to read your post on Gloria Dei.
Blessings,
<><
An obedient heart is most precious to God! Heading off to read your post!
