BOB
Good morning, this is Bob Peden of Central a United Methodist Community here in Meridian.
In the 10th chapter of the gospel of Matthew, we are told that Jesus calls 12 disciples by name, and then he sends them out with the power to cast out demons, heal every disease, and proclaim the kingdom of God.
From this we learn three things. First, God calls us by name. Each of us has been called by God to fulfill his purposes for our lives. And then once we hear and respond to that call, God sends us back into the world. God doesn’t call us out of this world, rather he calls us and sends us into the world. Thirdly, whatever God sends us to do, He gives us the strength and ability to fulfill the task and proclaim the Kingdom of God while doing so.
God calls us, God sends us, and God equips us. Are you willing to hear, to go, and to receive God’s power? My prayer for you is that you will always be at work to bring about God’s Kingdom on earth.
