Responding to God's Call - Moses as an example

I can sure relate to Moses and his response to God's call on his life. God's callings are often unexpected and a shock.

Romans 15:4, "For whatsoever things were written aforetime were written for our learning, that we through patience and comfort of the scriptures might have hope."

As a pastor I find great comfort from the Scriptures that gives me hope in finding God's help to fulfill His calling in my life. O Lord help me to be completely dependent on you and walk by faith moment by moment of each day!

We often talk about God's blessing but what about blessing God?

September Pastor's Chat:

We have come to the last item that Christ deserves to receive from us as mentioned in Revelation 5:12—blessing! What does it mean to bless the Lord?

The word bless, according to Noah Webster's 1828 dictionary, when used in reference to God means “to praise; to glorify, for benefits received,” or “to praise; to magnify for excellencies.” Certainly there are many benefits which we receive each day for which we should bless God. If we spend time in the Word of God reflecting and meditating on God’s Excellencies, how can we not break forth in verbal praise and tell others about the Excellencies of our God that we have beheld? God is worthy of blessing! Are you blessing God with your praise and adoration simply for who He is, as well as for his wonderful gifts to men? Or is there something in your heart that just isn’t comfortable about a God who wants to be worshiped? We certainly don’t look kindly upon men who set themselves up as someone great and display a desire to be worshiped and idolized by others. Does the question, “What makes it right for God to want to be worshiped?” lurk in the deep recesses of your heart and cause you not to abandon yourself in wholehearted worship of Him? Well, God is not a man! He was never a man who became a god! He is! He is eternal! He is great! He is perfect! He is creator! He is the one who sustains our very life! He holds this world together! He is all powerful! He is all knowing! He is present everywhere! My friend, God is worthy of our praise simply because of who He is. He is God! We will never experience true satisfaction until we find it in blessing God as Psalm 103 and 104 reveal. Please read them soon.

With prayer, Pastor Mark
