What are some things that you take into consideration when choosing which call to take?
Please help me sort out the obvious as well as the less obvious. Do you order things by importance? Do you just 'trust God' that He will lead you to the right call?
I would appreciate any help I can get as I candidate around the country.  |
5 biblical examples of accepting ministry calls:
1. Take a hike at a local park and look for a burning bush to talk to you. (
Warning: You might be asked to take your shoes or sandals off.)
2. Look for a donkey to talk to you.
3. Start getting angry with God and begin talk smack about Christians. Then walk down any street and wait for a beam of light from heaven to call you by your first name. (
Warning: You can get blinded by this event. So where some shades.)
4. When you spot God Incarnate knocking on your door, invite Him in but don't let Him leave until He blesses you with a calling. If He tries to leave without one, hold Him hostage. You might even have to wrestle Him to keep Him from leaving. (
Warning: You could get a hip socket displaced. So make sure you've got the paramedics on stand-by.)
5. Roll the Urim and Thummim dice.
