Lots of fervent prayer

Monday February 18th, Genesis 12: 4 So Abram left, as the LORD had told him; and Lot went with him. Abram was seventy-five years old when he set out from Haran. For a few, God calls us to leave and go somewhere new. The path is not easy, even Abram did not go alone. Abram had the voice of God calling him. We have the scriptures, which is the voice of God calling many through the ages. If, after fervent prayer, your calling fits a few verses, you might want to double check. If, after fervent prayer, you calling fits the general pattern of the teachings of Christ, and is particular to your gifts and talents, you might want to listen. And remember, Abram was 75 when he started, I am sure there was lots of fervent prayer over the years before his journey began. A true calling is less what you want to do and more what have to do, no matter how many times you have prayed to get out of it. Once you are on the path, it won’t be easy, but your soul will know it is home.
