I think of a wife, married to an unloving, self-absorbed man who spends his time and money in grievous ungodly pursuits. I think of a woman in the workplace who is a victim of hurtful and damaging gossip, unjustly treated because of her faith. I think of a woman who lives next door to an angry and revengeful neighbor.
She and her husband have considered moving, but remember how God led them to this neighborhood. I know a single woman who feels isolated and lonely in her seemingly family-oriented church, but believes God has called her to stay and reach out to others, that she might display the unity of Christ. This insidious disease has wreaked havoc in their family through chronic pain, explosive behaviors, excessive crying and whining, night terrors, and skewed emotions.
Some are Called to Go, More are Called to Stay
This young mom, who never feels well herself, imagines a quieter less stressful life. Yet, God has called her to stay to display the power of God through the sufficiency of Christ. Your circumstances may look a little different than the ones I have described, yet often feel impossible to continue in. Be assured that God knows and measures every moment of your pain and suffering. The world makes a convincing case for sufferers to leave when the going gets too tough.
And these quick escapes can tempt us because we hate suffering! God promises followers of Christ that He has a divine purpose for the dark valleys of affliction that He leads us through. Whether God calls us to go or stay, He is committed to helping us increasingly experience the reality of who we are because of our union with Christ.
It took years of maturity and growth, but he now resembles his dad in both size and godly character! While we have been given a new heart positionally, becoming like Christ happens over time. And so, through the pilgrimage of life, God teaches us who we are and Who we belong to, while loosening our grip on the world and our love for self. Here are five ways God grows us up into His likeness. We struggle to reconcile what we know about Him with the harsh realities that have shaken our little world.
Whether God leads us to go or to stay, He wants us to walk by faith, not by sight.
Some are Called to Go, More are Called to Stay | Bob Robinson
He is LORD of all and is worthy of our trust. While we often cannot understand His ways, we can always put our confidence in His unfailing love and mercy. But then we hear God speak. Resurrected three days later, just as He promised, He ascended to the right hand of God where He lives to intercede for us until He comes again to scatter all His enemies. We tend to feel strong, confident, and self-sufficient until God leads us into the depths and we are certain we are going to sink.
REAL. PRACTICAL. CHRISTIANITY.
We need to learn that too. The gospel shows us that we were once dead in our trespasses and sins, by nature children of wrath who deserve everlasting destruction Ephesians 2. While a few of the Thessalonians might have gone off to become missionaries to other lands, most of them stayed and witnessed the power of the gospel right where they already were. Their work was energized by their faith in God and by their love for the people. How are you a missionary right where you are?
How does your work witness to others that God is good and cares for them? Dear Heavenly Father, we often hear the stories of foreign missionaries who are doing wonderful work, and we think of ourselves as second-class Christians. But you have told us we are your witnesses in and through our work. We have opportunities to bless people right where we are. Thank you for that.
