Sing the song God has called you to sing

You've heard the expression “When the water is right, don’t wait to jump in” or from a romantic point of view, “When the mood is right don’t wait.” Another expression is to "pick your flowers right before they are in full bloom.” My point in sharing this is that it is important for us to know the urgency of the times. Today’s world screams with chaos, yet the opportunity for spiritual purpose and impact is unparalleled. I truly believe that God is ready to do something unusual through people that are willing to stand up and stand out for Him.

What I’m saying is: the water is right, the mood is right, and the flowers are almost at full bloom.
God is calling you through the Holy Spirit and is positioning you for something great. I know that can sound like a cliché, but remember, there are no "big I's" and "little yous" in God’s eyes. The Bible says that he is “no respecter of persons.” We find that to be true all throughout scripture. Whether it was Rahab (the harlot), Ruth, David, Paul, or the disciples, God never chose the chosen but he used the willing.

God is raising up people in this generation that will truly be sold out for His cause. This cause is: Christ crucified, Christ buried, and Christ risen (our Good News). Among the chaos of the world and talk of globalizing our world view and world system, God is strategically planning and placing believers for “such a time as this.” Maybe you are not at that job by mistake. Maybe that recent move was part of God’s divine Providence. Maybe that accident allows you a voice you never would have had. Maybe that dream you had really was God speaking. Praise God, I am excited to know that I am a part of the greatest move of God that will every hit the face of the earth. The question is: How much of a role will you play?

Sing the song God has called you to sing.

My challenge to you my friend is to discern the voice of the Holy Spirit. Discern the times we are living in. keep spiritual perspective, and sing the song God has called you to sing. The mood is right, the water is right, and the flowers are ready to bloom.
