Our Main Calling

Author: Theresa / Labels: , ,


Exodus 19: 1-8
1 In the third month after the Israelites left Egypt—on the very day—they came to the Desert of Sinai. 2 After they set out from Rephidim, they entered the Desert of Sinai, and Israel camped there in the desert in front of the mountain.
3 Then Moses went up to God, and the LORD called to him from the mountain and said, "This is what you are to say to the house of Jacob and what you are to tell the people of Israel: 4 'You yourselves have seen what I did to Egypt, and how I carried you on eagles' wings and brought you to myself. 5 Now if you obey me fully and keep my covenant, then out of all nations you will be my treasured possession. Although the whole earth is mine, 6 you will be for me a kingdom of priests and a holy nation.' These are the words you are to speak to the Israelites."
7 So Moses went back and summoned the elders of the people and set before them all the words the LORD had commanded him to speak. 8 The people all responded together, "We will do everything the LORD has said." So Moses brought their answer back to the LORD.


In our performance-driven world, Christians often assume that God's main calling on their lives is to work for Him. But working for Christ should be secondary to our devotion to Him. As Oswald Chambers warned: "The greatest competitor of devotion to Jesus is service for Him."
I encountered this subtle "competitor" soon after the Lord led our family to start a ministry among street addicts. We loved these searching youths, and I devoted my entire attention and energy to helping them experience Christ's saving power.
Then Derek, one of our seekers, ran back to London and do drugs. This loss shocked me into realizing that I had become so absorbed in our work that my devotion to Jesus had lost its importance. God used my distresses as "eagles' wings" to carry me away from my worship of work and back to my first love - Jesus.
God did the same for Israel in Moses' day. He delivered the Hebrews from an impossible taskmaster and brought them on "eagles' wings" back to Himself (Exodus 19:4).
Praise God, Derek soon returned. Meanwhile, I had learned a lesson that's vital for all followers of Jesus. Our God-given work must never compete with our main calling: devotion to Christ. - Joanie Yoder

Many Christians are strong on service but weak on worship.
-Our Daily Bread ~ RBC Ministry-

This happens to me, giving all my best to serve but not putting the main calling that is devotion as important as serving. Never compete. What is serving if there's no devotion anyway...

Let God speak, we listen. God bless

I think all this while not only God wanted me to do something for Him with this higher authority, but also He showed me a lot of things that not an ordinary student can see. For example, how the management runs their stuff in college.. I get to organize events, big and small. Opportunity to speak out. God shows me a lot about the deeper root of SIA. Spiritual needs of SIA, the management, lecturers and students. God gave me a wonderful team of people who work hard for the college. Thank you guys! I had a great time laughing with them, suffer together...staying in college till late... awesome. This is how God sharpen and and open my eyes to see the inner part of SIA. I did my best for my 2008 and this year is time for me to retire from being president, I'm very sure that God have something big for me in SIA this year!

But it is God who always wipe away my tears in diff ways, sometime is just He and I...sometimes He use you great people around me. I'm truly blessed in 2008 and amazed by His way of doing things in my life.
