GENESIS 12:4. “So Abram departed as the Lord had spoken unto him; and Lot went with him: and Abram was seventy and five years old when he departed out of Haran.” THE LEADER A call from God should never be taken lightly. Divine in origin, it comes from the Highest Source. Exceeding every other claim, He who is the supreme Authority, Never makes a decision thoughtlessly, or makes a wasted choice.
To leave a place of comfort, or a situation leading to earthly gain; May seem to family and friends, a lack of careful planning,
However, when we have heard the Master, and His will is made very plain, Then my highest wisdom is to respond to Him without any hesitating.
The way from start to finish may not be plain at first. The road I travel may only be some lines on my life’s map. Even the end may be obscured when I walk a life of trust, But I’ll know I’ve done what Master wanted when I reach the last hill’s top.
God’s call is separating, from the familiar, we walk away; Only knowing this for sure, it was the Master’s call. And even though there’s some fear of mistakes from day to day; We know what is the outcome, was His plan after all.
I may not be successful in the eyes of my fellowmen, And I may look back when life is over and see little that’s been done. But if I am assured that all this was planned for me by Him, Then I think I will be contented, when the Master calls me home.
“Father in heaven, I am not sure whether I am a leader or not, but I know some are following whether I like it or not. It is my desire to lead them to high ground, where the air is pure and the heights give a sense of closeness to Thee. The humid ground of the valley may make things grow good and people can get rich because of it, but I fear lest a “Lot” be left in that valley to live a life that grieves them day after day. Lead me to the Rock that is higher than I. In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, Amen.”
