David was just a humble shepherd when Samuel anointed 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). Jeremiah wasn’t even born when the Lord appointed him as a prophet (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.

“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. Here am I send me. In Your holy name I pray. Amen.
