When You Are Called
He is the still, small voice. Do not ignore Him just because He may whisper. When you are called, answer.
Listen to the caller. Hear the words that come to your mind. There is a reason behind the call.
When you are called to write, understand the calling may not be for glory or fame. Instead, it may be as simple as writing a prayer or as difficult as marching into battle. Still, be brave and answer the call.
David heard the call while watching sheep and, without hesitation, bolted into action to kill a giant. Something many times larger than he, yet the call came, and David ran to answer with only a sling and a stone. You have the power of the pen and God behind your fingers to push it.
Moses heard the call, and so did Jonah. They tried to ignore but could not—God worked amazing things through them when they answered.
I understand my call may not be to lead others into battle and that I should not rate my calling according to my scale of importance. Any call from God is mighty. Any call is important. Every call has a reason, and I was chosen because God gave me the ability to do what He required of me. He always prepares us.
I understand my call may require me to stretch my wings – to leap when I am afraid, but I will take hold of the Word that says …those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles, they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.
I will trust. I will learn. I will seek out the call given to me to write. I will depend on God's leading for what I write, and I will rely on His will, not my own, for the work's level of success. I will lift my hands and praise Him, for in His wisdom, And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good,[a] for those who are called according to his purpose.
I will learn to wait when waiting is hard, and I will take hold of gratitude and appreciation for every word I pen, offering them back to the God who placed them in my heart so that He might use them to His glory and not mine. I do not expect glory in my own right, but I will rest in knowing that, though I may not see the fruit of my labor, God will use the things I write in His time – the right time.
I understand writing for the Father is not average. Nor is it easy. I know I will meet with adversity, but I will not lay the call of the work to the side and give up, for God's timing is amazing.
I have taken the first steps to answer His call for me to write by acknowledging He is in all I do. I will continue to listen to this call and follow in the footprints before me, for I am called to pen words. I am called as His writer.
I will listen to His call and answer.
I know these things to be true for I AM has spoken. He has reminded me that He can. That He already has, because He, is the Great I Am.
