Stuff calls to us all the time. But there’s only one call that really matters above all the rest, and that is the call of God in our lives. Check out what Paul said in 1 Timothy 1:12-13 (NLT): “He considered me trustworthy and appointed me to serve Him, even though I used to blaspheme the name of Christ.” That phrase Paul uses, He appointed me, carries the idea of being ‘placed.’ The placement is intentional. It’s done on purpose for a purpose. This may be news to you, but when you come to faith in Jesus, He appointed you to serve Him. Your life has been placed in such a way as to make a difference for Him. It has nothing to do with how good you are; it has to do with how generous and grace-filled God is. He trusts you. He strengthens you. He appoints you. He calls you. And your life is meant to be lived as a response to His call.
