"When the Lord saw that he had gone over to look, God called to him from within the bush, "Moses! Moses!" And Moses said, "Here I am." "
"And God spoke to Israel in a vision at night and said, "Jacob! Jacob!" "Here I am," he replied."
Here I am, standing firm before the Lord.
When I think about myself taking initiative in doing what needs to be done, I always think that God wants me to do this.
But before we even take that step, is God really calling us to do what we believe that needs to be done?
Sometimes I think so highly of myself.
From the previous blogs, I talked how our lives are being driven by work and busyness.
When we get too busy and start thinking about God, we start initiating the work that we think it will be pleasing to God.
However, we didn't stop what we are doing.
We didn't think what God REALLY wants us to do.
I was talking to Derek Hill about joining the servant team.
He sees me, but God sees me even deeper.
I'm acting like Jonah.
Most of the time, I know what God is calling me to do, but I tend to run away from it.
I want to truly represent myself as God's servant.
I want to express it thankfully for what God has placed in me.
So, here I am!
