Stepping Into the Calling God Has for You
Change is hard. It’s easy to get stuck in the rut of comfortability. But God doesn’t want you to stay there. Often times His promises are on the other side of change. The people of Israel faced their own uncomfortable season of change and transition. In Deuteronomy, we read that Moses’s time is drawing near and that Joshua is set to take his place. Uncertainty was felt among the tribes. But God assured them of His presence. He reminded them of the promises He had made in the past.
“Then Moses summoned Joshua and said to him in the presence of all Israel, ‘Be strong and courageous, for you must go with this people into the land that the Lord swore to their forefathers to give them, and you must divide it among them as their inheritance. The Lord himself goes before you and will be with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged.’” – Deuteronomy 31:7-8, NIV
From the top of Mount Nebo, Moses looked out over the Promised Land that he would never enter. After his passing, the people mourned for thirty days.
Now, it was Joshua’s moment. He had been waiting patiently for forty years, ready for his time to lead. A new promise on the other side of change. As a devoted leader and a great warrior, the moment had come for Joshua to guide them into the Promised Land. Despite the difficulty of change, it was now Israel’s time to enter into God’s promise.
Now, it’s your turn. What has God been preparing you for?
Has God been drawing your attention through a hard season? In the quiet moments reading your Bible have you heard God speak? God is preparing you. Like Joshua, who assumed the role prepared for him by God, consider what God may be preparing you for. A mentorship, a new career, starting a family, achieving fitness goals, or going into ministry.
It’s your time. Embrace the change, embrace the opportunity.
This week on the podcast we sit down with Vinnie DePaul as he talks about a near-death experience that changed his life.
