ARE YOU AT GOD’S BECKON CALL
It has been an interesting week for my wife
and me to say the least. Last Sunday we told the congregation we were running
up to Pigeon Forge for a couple of days. Well, we didn’t make it. We got up
late Monday and decided we would just wait until Tuesday and get an early
start.
I got up early alright with a bug that would
not turn me loose. I was so sick and took three days to start feeling better.
Yep, you guessed it; my wife got it the next three days. So my wife was at my
beckon call bless her heart for three days and I was at her beckon all for
three. Our poor dogs didn’t know what to do but just lie at our side and watch us. Even one of
them got sick.
During this time if I needed an ice pack or a
wet cloth or if my wife needed one we jumped up and took care of the need.
While walking the dogs yesterday my inspiration was are we at God’s beckon
call?
The song says “When He calls I will answer
here am I.” Can we say we are committed enough to God to drop whatever we are
doing and heed his beckon call. You may say I use to be that way. Are you
sitting on a pew somewhere today and unwilling to respond when he calls?
It has bothered me seeing so many Christians sitting
on the side line when they are needed by God. I cry out Lord, help us be at
your beckon call. I know you have fought a good fight, I know you have done
good works but don’t you know God is not finished with you yet. I used some
words one time with some senior ministers and it said, “We’re not dead yet,
we’re not dead yet, glory hallelujah, we’re not dead yet.”
We must not just talk about when we heeded
his beckon call; we must be an example in showing this generation how to do it.
We may be limited by health and other ways but we can do what he places before
us.
Some of my greatest inspirations are the
seniors around me that get up and heed God’s call. I think of my mom at 80
asking her pastor if she could have prayer with the little children while the
others did their devotion before going to class. I think of every time I see
Sis Elva Howard as she pushes herself to visit someone, I think of her sister
Sis Bessie Hardin who had poor health but would get up and go visit my
mother-in-law. I think of Sister Ina Tomlinson who would go take care of people
and do their laundry and pick them up
for church. I think of Bro. Ray Wynn who struggles to move but blesses people
with his visits and prayers. I think of Bro. Henry Biggers even after 90 gets
up and goes to visit folks. I think of W.A. Howard and his continual ministry
of love. I Think of Wayne Chelette a
great teacher and even when his wife was having surgery took time to visit and have
prayer with others.
Time and space stop me be but these folks
brave the trail and some of them are still with us heeding God’s beckon call.
Will you do the same today? Souls are crying for someone to show them the way. Another song says “Give up and let Jesus take
over…” Lord let me heed your beckon call I pray.
REMEMBER
“If we confess our sins he is
faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all
unrighteousness.” 1John 1:9
