Learning Discerning


By faith, Abraham, when he was called, obeyed to go out to the place which he was to receive for an inheritance. He went out, not knowing where he went.  By faith, he lived as an alien in the land of promise, as in a land not his own, dwelling in tents, with Isaac and Jacob, the heirs with him of the same promise….If indeed they had been thinking of that country from which they went out, they would have had enough time to return.  But now they desire a better country, that is, a heavenly one. Therefore God is not ashamed of them, to be called their God, for he has prepared a city for them. Hebrews 11:8-9,15-16.

God calls me…
…but am I listening?

God calls me…
… to follow Him.

God calls me…
…send another, I say, for I am not worthy.
I am not claiming to be like Moses,
but I identify with his lack of confidence.

God calls me…
…but so many thought and ideas echo through my head.
How can I be sure which voice is his?

God calls me…
…or is this just wishful thinking?
Are you really calling me, Lord?
or am I just feeling fanciful?

God calls me…
…there MUST be others better equipped to do this task

God calls me…
and as I seek to discern if it is His voice that is calling,
I must step out in faith.
Only then will I be able to discern if He is the one who calls me,
who draws me,
or if this is just a dream
and soon I will awaken to reality?
