Have you every wondered what you are doing with your life that matters? Most of us at some point in our lives ask that question, and it may nag at us for years on end. Perhaps you are wrestling with that question in your life this very moment. If you are unsure of what your call in life is, then this book is for you. I want to help you understand how to make a difference with your life by seeking out the Creator of everything and searching his Word for your way in life.
Let me tell you now that I get queasy when it comes to taking big risks. When I first gave heed to the thought that God might have a call for my life as a pastor, I almost freaked. That was way out of my leauge and I was unprepared to be “called.” When most people think about the term “call,” they get mystical thoughts of a voice speaking to them and telling them what to do, much like what we find on thee pages of the Old and New Testaments. Men like Moses and the apostle Paul definitely had one of those “aha” moments when God spoke very clearly about the call for their lives. That supernatural type of call has long ceased to exist, but having a call is still very much present in the human spirit and soul today. I have never experienced the Moses or Paul type of call and would have probably croaked over if I had, but I have experienced God’s call in my life. His call is an invitation; it is about knowing his will for your life. It is personal.
Let me encourage you that if you do not have a clear, absolute call from God, to graciously step aside from what you are trying to do on your own. It is not a sin to walk away from something that you want to do, but have not been called to do. It is a sin to continue to stay in a place when you are not called.
