Have you ever imagined a higher calling? Believed that you were made for something bigger. Something greater. Have you ever pictured yourself on an epic adventure spanning across the globe. Hiking through the mist of a mountain jungle, walking along the Great Wall of China, fording an expanse of Nile River. Living in a different culture, eating food you’ve never seen before, receiving hospitality from strangers in the Middle East. You were called to preach the gospel of Christ to every tribe, tongue, and nation, and to spread His love and forgiveness to the ends of the earth. You have been created to live outside your comfort zone. You are not to be satisfied in your current state. Rather, you are to grow daily in the word. To sharpen your understanding of the double edged sword.
Do you think it will come easy? Will you have troubles? Will there be cracks along the path? Will you be led astray?
God will be with you every step of the way. He will carry and guide you. Your burden will lighten. He will lift you up. You will soar and not grow weary.
1 Peter 2:9
9But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people belonging to God, that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light.
Isaiah 40:28-31
28Do you not know? Have you not heard? The LORD is the everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the earth. He will not grow tired or weary, and his understanding no one can fathom. 29He gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak. 30Even youths grow tired and weary, and young men stumble and fall; 31but those who hope in the LORD will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.
Whatever the circumstances, whatever the call, whatever the duty, whatever the price, whatever the sacrifice, His strength will be your strength in your hour of need. – Billy Graham
John 16:33
33I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.
Matthew 28:18-20
18Then Jesus came to them and said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. 19Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.”
