Sometimes when you are feeling worthless, focusing your attention on something other than yourself can help. Isaiah 6:1-8, helps us to understand how to lead in times of trouble. Isaiah response to God’s call inspires us to remain faithful to our calling, even when faced challenges and also reminds us that God’s intention is for all creation to be one.
Jeremiah 1:4-10, we learn that God tells Jeremiah not focus on his youth or inabilities rather to focus on obedience and dependence. God tells him to do, and he does so with trust that God will accompany him in his mission and deliver him from his opponents.
The life that we find when we give up our lives to follow God’s call, is, after all is said and done, the life most worth living.
Galatians 1:11-24, describes Paul’s call to preach the gospel and his vindication of his apostleship. In this passage, Paul explains that he received the gospel from Jesus Christ, not from any human being. God has saved us through the work of Christ, and we should look forward to eternity with him.
Peter 2:4-10, tell us
The Lord Jesus is the living stone. The people of the world decided that they did not want this stone. But he is the one God chose as one of great value. So come to him. You also are like living stones, and God is using you to build a spiritual house. You are to serve God in this house as holy priests, offering him spiritual sacrifices that he will accept because of Jesus Christ. The Scriptures say, “Look, I have chosen a cornerstone of great value, and I put that stone in Zion. Anyone who trusts in him will never be disappointed.” Isaiah 28:16. So, that stone means honour for you who believe. But for those who don’t believe he is “the stone that the builders refused to accept, which became the most important stone.” Psalm 118:22. For them he is also “a stone that makes people stumble, a rock that makes people fall.” Isaiah 8:14 People stumble because they don’t obey what God says. This is what God planned to happen to those people. But you are his chosen people, the King’s priests. You are a holy nation, people who belong to God. He chose you to tell about the wonderful things he has done. He brought you out of the darkness of sin into his wonderful light. In the past you were not a special people, but now you are God’s people. Once you had not received mercy, but now God has given you his mercy.
