God, who has called you into fellowship with his Son Jesus Christ our Lord, is faithful (1 Corinthians 1:9).

Yeah, I remember when I decided to go searching for God.  I figured, you know, if there’s a God out there, I’d better find him and figure out some way to have a relationship with him.  Seemed like the least I could do, what with him being so busy running the universe and all…

What?  That’s not the way it happened?

Oh, yeah…right.

Beloved, this fellowship with God thing was his idea, not ours.  He called you, not the other way around.  God knows how to make it work.  He doesn’t need us to instruct him or advise him.

Just to trust him.

God is not like that friend who calls you to come over, and then when you get there says, “I dunno; whadda you wanna do?”

He knows what he wants to do, and he has called you to be part of it.

Because he loves you.

Happy Monday, Beloved.
