April 30th. Heed the

0:08

call of God. I heard

0:10

the voice of the Lord saying, whom shall

0:12

I send, and who will go for

0:14

us? Then said I,

0:16

here am I send me.

0:19

Isaiah six eight. If

0:23

Abraham had ever grumbled to the Lord about

0:25

leaving the beggarly idols of ur,

0:27

God would have let him go back.

0:29

We are free to do the will of God,

0:32

but God never makes us his unwilling

0:34

prisoners. God called

0:36

Abraham out. God gave him the promised

0:39

land. And God said, Abraham,

0:41

from among your posterity will

0:43

come the Messiah in the fullness of time.

0:46

This is the gracious reason why

0:48

we should tell people everywhere to

0:50

hear and heed the call of God,

0:53

so he can lead them into everything

0:55

that is good and blessed and worthwhile.

0:58

God wants to call us out into a

1:00

more abundant and fruitful Christian

1:02

life than we have ever known.

1:06

Lord, who am I to argue with you or

1:08

to call into question your sovereign choice?

1:10

The decision is not mine, but yours.

1:13

So be it, Lord. Your

1:15

will, not mine, be done.
