David was just a humble shepherd when the Lord directed Samuel to anoint him king (1 Samuel 16:1-13). Elisha was plowing in his father’s fields when Elijah placed his prophetic mantle upon him (1 Kings 19:19-21). The Lord appointed Jeremiah as a prophet before he was even born (Jeremiah 1:4-10). Peter and John were going about their business as fishermen when Jesus called them (Matthew 4:18-22). The point I’m trying to make is simply this: we don’t have to do anything special to get the Lord’s attention. He knows where to find us. Psalm 139:16 says,
“All the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be.”
— Psalm 139:16
Lord Jesus, help us to recognize Your voice and respond to Your call. In Your holy name I pray. Amen.
