Short Thought #5: God's Calling

When God places the calling over your life to preach, it is not anything that you should take lightly. He has placed you in charge of the flock. You are now a father of the faith. You are the ears of the people. How are the people going to hear if they have no ears? Matthew 11:15 "He who has ears, let him hear."With the office comes great responsibility and accountability, it is nothing to play around with. If no one else, you should always have yourself spiritually in check. You should be in tune with God at all times. Following in the footsteps of Christ. No one wants a backslidden, can’t get it right preacher behind the pulpit and now and days there are a ton of them. How are you going to tell someone something about God but you can’t stand before Him and pull it together yourself? When God calls you, get prepared, you have a great standard to live up to and it won’t be easy. But it is rewarding! There is no greater work to do than to do the work of God.
