Hear the Call and Respond in Faith

"My eager desire and hope being that I may never feel ashamed, but that now as ever I may do honour to Christ in my own person by fearless courage."  Phil 1:20 (Moffat)

              Let us hear His call,

                              take His courage, 

                                       and respond by walking in those good works, 

which He prepared beforehand (Eph. 2:10) and are beyond all that we could ask or think, according to the power that works within us (Eph. 3:20). 

"Do not be afraid of sudden fear

Nor of the onslaught (storm) of the wicked when it comes; 

For the Lord will be your confidence (at your side)..."  Prov. 3:25,26a

Be strengthened in His love to say, "If this is You calling, be my bold confidence, strengthen me to walk in faith, and make me to walk (not to stand in terror) on my high places. If this of You, command me to 'come'."

"On the day I called, You answered me; 

You made me bold with strength in my soul." Psalm 138:3

"Now may our Lord Jesus Christ Himself and God our Father, who has loved us and given us eternal comfort and good hope by grace, comfort and strengthen your hearts in every good work and word." 2 Thess. 2:16,17

Hear the call and respond in faith.

"And He said, 'Come!' 

And Peter got out of the boat, and walked on the water and came toward Jesus." Matthew 14:29

 May that be part of our story too.
