Read Luke 9:51-62.
These verses of Scripture have always challenged me to think about the ways God is asking me to respond to His call. God’s call is irrevocable; that is to  say, His call cannot be reversed, denied, or annulled. When God calls, He calls for an immediate response - an action that does not put off for later what the Holy Spirit wants to do now.    

How is God calling you? What does that response look like in your life? Don’t put off for tomorrow what God is calling you to do today.

  1. Right now there seem to be so many obstacles to following God's call. We need to be more creative in figuring out ways to be "out in the world".

    Maybe right now we are just called to really examine what our "normal" will look like when things "get back to normal." Are we just going to go back to doing what we've always done? Or will this season have been one of growth, so that we are different - in a good way?

Read James 1:2-15. One of the greatest challenges I face is seeing the trials that I face as assets. It is through those trials – difficult and distressing as they may be – that my faith becomes stronger. In them I learn to trust in God’s providence and His promises. So today, instead of grumbling or bemoaning, I want to ask:   “God, what can I learn today? How can I grow?”

Read John 15:1-17. The phrase from this passage that stands out the most to me is found in verse 15: “I no longer call you servants … instead I have called you friends.” This speaks to me of a different kind of God – a God who desires a relational connection to each of us. That echoes throughout the passage, of course, with the imagery of branches connected to the vine. But to be considered a friend of Jesus is a far more intimate image for me. As with any friendship, I need to cultivate that friendship, spending time with Him, talking to Him, listening to Him. That’s my goal today.

Read John 4:5-26.  The story of the Samaritan woman reminds me that everything in this life will eventually leave us to thirst again. The things of this life come and go. But in Jesus, our thirst is forever quenched. In Jesus, everything we need is provided. In Jesus, our lives are complete and whole. So why seek anything else? Why drink from the well of this world and be thirsty again? Come to Jesus and never thirst again.
