Obedient To The Call

The LORD will scatter you among the peoples, and only a few of you will survive among the nations to which the LORD will drive you. 28 There you will worship man-made gods of wood and stone, which cannot see or hear or eat or smell. 29 But if from there you seek the LORD your God, you will find him if you look for him with all your heart and with all your soul. 30 When you are in distress and all these things have happened to you, then in later days you will return to the LORD your God and obey him. 31 For the LORD your God is a merciful God; he will not abandon or destroy you or forget the covenant with your forefathers, which he confirmed to them by oath. Deuteronomy 4:27
    The Lord has called many of us. Whether to reach out to the nations, cities, or even the corner of our own streets. Here in this scripture Moses is telling the people of Israel that The Lord our God will spread us out in the nations and only a few of us will survive. Why is this? Like I said, many of us are called and yet many of us are disobedient . What will it take for us to quit messing around? To quit acting as though time is in our hands instead of Gods? There is a big difference between abandonment and discipline. God has placed us here for a reason. To be more obedient and more focused on Him and the calling He placed on us. At the beginning of verse nine, here it reads, “BUT if from there you seek the LORD your God...” Meaning, we must seek God in the midst of whatever we are going through. By doing so with all our hearts and all our souls we will indeed find Him. God has been the same since the beginning and has been in the same place since the beginning. It is what we do that draws us away from Him. We tend to be disobedient and end up where we are. But knowing that we can seek God through the midst of our own mess, He will shed His mercy once again and lead us back to His arms where we belong.
    Understand that time is passing us by. What are we doing as it does. It's time to break out of our shell that we've made. Comfort does not come in a shell, but in the arms of a Father. Our comfort should be the satisfaction of spreading the Gospel to a world which is lost and in need of the only Savior, Jesus Christ. Take this divine opportunity to make and be a part of a monumental change in our world. Reach out in your community and share the goodness of our Lord, Jesus Christ. Invite them to your church and let them experience the wonderful presence of our God. Keep in touch and pray for one another. Plant a seed a watch it grow! God bless!
