Role Call

How are you today? Are you present? When God called out your name for role this morning did you respond with an unwavering, "Here"? Or did it take great effort just to raise your weak and weary hand toward him?

There are days when I grasp at the very things that will only suck me further into the pit of self centered living. The Lord's strong hand is hovering over the edge. I can cling to my own abilities, or immerse myself in relationship with him. Love the Lord your God, listen to his voice, and cling to him. For the Lord is your life. Deuteronomy 30:20a

In the process of extracting you and me from the pit, he will be revealed to a watching world. He can do anything that's on his heart through a woman who believes. 

Do you have confidence in the capabilities of God to use you for his glory? He created you and gifted you. The gifts he's given to you aren't for you. They are to be dispersed to others. 

Imagine if we arose in the morning with the goal of being gift distributors. That when he spoke our name during role call, we not only responded, but proceeded to move out from behind the desk toward those in need of his touch. Not forgetting to humbly bow out of the way, so that he alone becomes the glory receiver.
