One quote taken from this book (and there are many)
"How the boy heard and answered his call led to many significant events in Israel's history, including the anointing of two kings, one who became the most famous the country would ever know. Samuel was called, and he answered. But the scary part - the part we should pay attention to - is that he almost missed it. ... that voice sounds different to every ear."
*********
My take on this quote is that I believe God really
does the calling. To some it is an audible voice, to some it is through others,
and to some it is a feeling deep down that guides them.
********
But however
the calling manifests itself, it is our attitude and attention that makes it our
own. Each person, with any set of
beliefs or values, can claim a direction.
I pray that I don’t judge others in their own calling. Do not let
someone else’s life become so big of an issue that it clogs up our lives. We
might miss our own calling.
********
The Art of Work is a great book that could start a
conversation, if nothing more. I think it will make me more aware of where I am
headed.
God Bless Your Day
