If you have been seeking God’s will for your life and He has ask you to follow Him in service to Him, what are you waiting for?

Today, God needs men who will stand up for His truth and be counted.  Sometimes, it means giving up all that you have in this world to follow Him.  I think too many believers are complacent and are satisfied with a 9 to 5 job.  There is nothing wrong with working at a secular vocation.  Please do not misunderstand me.  I believe that many have been called of God who have not answered His call for their life.

I was reading the book of Galatians this morning and a comment from Albert Barnes in his Notes on the Bible put things in a proper perspective.  Here are the verses and his comment:

Gal 1:16  to reveal His Son in me, that I might preach Him among the Gentiles, I did not immediately confer with flesh and blood,
Gal 1:17  nor did I go up to Jerusalem to those who were apostles before me; but I went to Arabia, and returned again to Damascus.

“That when the Lord Jesus calls us, we should at once abandon any course of life, however pleasant, or any plan of ambition, however brilliant, or any scheme of gain, however promising, in order that we may follow him. What a brilliant career of ambition that Paul did abandon! and how promptly and decidedly did he do it! He did not pause or hesitate a moment! However brilliant as his prospects were, he at once forsook everything; paused in mid-career in his ambition; and without consulting one human being, he immediately gave his heart to God. Such a course should be pursued by all. Such a promptness and decision will prepare one to become an eminent Christian, and to be eminently useful.”

These words sum up following Christ.  May God help you in your calling.
