Have you ever watched a child at play when a parent called his or her name? Sometimes the child is too busy or having too much fun to respond.
Do we ever treat God that way? We hear His voice speaking to us; but because we are busy, or distracted, or maybe having too much fun, we ignore His voice. Or maybe we just delay answering, thinking there will be a more convenient time for us to respond.
When God spoke to Jacob through visions, Jacob answered the call, saying “Here am I.”. God was calling Jacob to leave his home and travel to Egypt. Jacob was not a young man. In fact, he had children and grandchildren. Jacob didn’t let age or fear hinder him from answering God’s call.
Are there obstacles standing in your way of answering God’s call today? What steps do you need to take to remove those obstacles? God is waiting to hear your response.
Father, help me to respond to the initial call of Your voice.
