“Know that the LORD has set apart his faithful servant for himself; the LORD hears when I call to him.” Psalm 4:3 NIV
What has the Lord called you to do? There are some who can respond immediately and positively as to the Lord’s calling on their life. There are others who struggle with this not being able to pinpoint an explicit calling. They wonder if their life as lived is God’s calling and according to His will. Then there are others, like myself, who throughout our lives note a specific turn in direction. This directional turn is due to changes in employment, family situations, ministry opportunities, retirement, and other events planned or unplanned.
Knowing God’s calling and His will for your life is a challenge for most Christians, but one explicit calling is not hard to understand. It is God’s command to be faithful. Being faithful is God’s calling on every believer in His Son, Jesus Christ, and that is one thing that every Christian can do without exception. Is it easy? No, not in our own strength. But, “Know that the LORD has set apart his faithful servant for himself; the LORD hears when I call to him.” (Ps. 4:3 NIV)
In our modern times of the 21st century it is becoming increasing difficult to take a stand for a Biblical worldview without being ridiculed or shamed into silence. But the Lord calls us to be faithful and that we must be. We have been set apart from the world into His Service for His Glory. We are to live lives that glorify God by following Jesus’s example. We should not be afraid or intimidated to speak the truth of God’s Word and we ought to live as faithful servants that attract the world to our saving Lord. May we be faithful in our call to be a faithful servant.
