Jeremiah was 15 or 16 years old when God called him to a different life.  And he must have thought—I can’t do this!

 

But guess what?

 

That is the answer that ALL of us give.

 

The reality is:  We CAN do it.

 

It is true when we say:

I don’t have enough money … 

but He says:  “I own the cattle on a thousand hills”

I am too young … 

but He says:  “Do NOT LET ANYONE look down on you because you are young”

I am not a good speakers … 

but He says:  “I will give you the words”

 

No excuse you give is too great for you to put fear in the Creator of the Universe.  He is the Master of ALL THINGS….even you!

 

Joshua 1  4 The word of the LORD came to me, saying, 5 “Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, before you were born I set you apart;

I appointed you as a prophet to the nations.”

6 “Ah, Sovereign LORD ,” I said, “I do not know how to speak; I am only a child.”  7 But the LORD said to me, “Do not say, ‘I am only a child.’ You must go to everyone I send you to and say whatever I command you. 8 Do not be afraid of them, for I am with you and will rescue you,” declares the LORD .

9 Then the LORD reached out his hand and touched my mouth and said to me, “Now, I have put my words in your mouth.

 

Thank God Joshua listened to the call.  He has words of wisdom that I use EVERY DAY in my life.  And because He listened and responded to the call, he got to be a servant and leave a legacy.

 

Do you want to leave a legacy?

 

You must make a conscious choice to do what He has called you to do.  And it IS your choice. You can walk into what He has called or delay your own progress, your own life, your own legacy.

 

When Jesus told the rich young ruler to “sell everything and give it to the poor” he walked away sad because he was very rich, and he left his legacy that day.

 

Imagine if he would have done it?  Do you think that his life would have been a life of pain and poorness and insufficiency?

 

I doubt it.  Heaven is described as having streets of gold because God lavishes riches upon us that we could never acquire on our own accord.  The rich young ruler walked away from riches that were beyond anything that he could comprehend.

 

And so I say to you:  

God Doesn’t Care About Your Resume

 

According to an old mentor of mine, Rod Olson, He is looking for the FATC.

 

The Faithful

The Available

The Teachable

The Committed

 

And all of us can do that.

 

We must simply RESPOND.
