Today’s Scripture: Jonah 1:6 ESV; So, the captain came and said to him, “What do you mean, you sleeper? Arise, call out to your god! Perhaps the god will give a thought to us that we may not perish.”
Do you need a wake-up call? How could Jonah be asleep during such a storm as this? How can we?
My good friend Julian sent me an obscure text early one Sunday morning with three scripture references, in each instance these scriptures assured me that if I call out to the LORD, He will answer me.
Later, my wife challenged me to act on what God has called me to. Am I like Jonah? Am I staying in my comfort zone? Will I go and do what God has called me to do or will I sleep?
What has God called you to? Arise and call out to the LORD and He will answer you! Run to His presence and His calling for you.
Through Jonah, the men of the ship went from calling out to their gods to calling out to the LORD. The LORD our God will do the same with us. Arise!
Today’s Prayer: LORD God, thank You for calling me. Forgive me for my lack of trust. Thank You for bringing me this far and thank You for those you send to challenge my procrastination and who awaken me to call out to You. LORD I am going where You have called me. I am calling out to You for help. Amen
