Knowing Who is Calling

I want you to get out there and walk—better yet, run!—on the road God called you to travel. I don't want any of you sitting around on your hands. I don't want anyone strolling off, down some path that goes nowhere. And mark that you do this with humility and discipline—not in fits and starts, but steadily, pouring yourselves out for each other in acts of love, alert at noticing differences and quick at mending fences.

You were all called to travel on the same road and in the same direction, so stay together, both outwardly and inwardly. You have one Master, one faith, one baptism, one God and Father of all, who rules over all, works through all, and is present in all. Everything you are and think and do is permeated with Oneness. Ephesians 4:1-6 

 We each have a calling. We all have something that we are doing in this world that is purposeful. It is sometimes hard to see what goal we are striving for or what needs to be accomplished, but hearing and recognizing God's voice is so important. In order to walk through this life with purpose and understanding we must know when God is calling us.

The world has constant distractions and many voices that try and call us their direction. Not all of them are bad or unnecessary, but we do need to know the difference between their voices and God's.

God doesn't want us to be confused or unsure of the direction our life is going. He wants us to be in complete union with Him that we never are misunderstood. When times get tough and confusion takes place, try looking to God and asking what worldly distractions are we getting confused with God's voice?

He calls his own sheep by name and leads them out. When he gets them all out, he leads them and they follow because they are familiar with his voice. John 10:4
