Ringtones

Did you ever notice how concerned some people (including myself) are about the ringtones on their cell phones? It is amazing how we look forward to the calling on our cell phones. We want them to ring; it makes us feel significant.

Think about how many ringtones you have on your phone.

Do you anxiously await a phone call? Do you long for the "significance" felt in a phone call? Are you so obsessed with those phone calls that you miss your true calling?

The most important person trying to reach us is our Creator, our King. He has given us all that we have; now, He is commanding you to give all you have -- for Him. But our giving is not seen as a duty or an act that we must do, but we willingly give our lives to him, just as Christ willingly went to the cross for us.

When He is trying to reach us, He is calling us. The apostle Paul wrote to the chuch in Ephesus, "I urge you to live a life worthy of the calling you have received" (Eph. 4:1).

This calling is significant. God has a significance for your life; He has a plan for your life. He wants to use you for His glorious plans. This calling will bring you significance.

There lies a problem with sometimes understanding this though:

To live a life worthy of the calling, you must be able to find what God's calling for your life is. He is trying to reach us; will you recognize His ringtone? Will you answer His call?

Over the next few days, I will go over what I have learned about finding your calling from God. Urbana served a great purpose in helping me to find this knowledge, and I long to learn more about finding my calling, then following it adamantly with all of my heart.
