Confidence in our Calling - 1

Published: Dec. 4, 2020, 8 a.m.

During the ongoing crises of 2020, now more than ever God calls us to walk confidently. God wants us to walk confidently in obedience to His calling on our lives. First, because the Lord knows the desires of our heart, Psalm 37:4. Second, God knows us better than we know ourselves, Romans 8:27. Third, every good and perfect gift comes from the Lord, James 1:17. While Satan comes for one purpose only - to steal, kill, and destroy, Jesus came so that we may have life, and have it in abundance, a full life. John 10:10. And this abundant life needs to be shared with the world. God is not a cosmic killjoy. Instead, He is the One who lavishes on us the greatest happiness...when we choose to follow Him. My dad, Luis Palau, has lived this truth. From his early days as a street evangelist to present-day ongoing treatment for Stage IV lung cancer, my dad takes each day as an opportunity to read the Bible, pray, listen to the Lord, and remember God’s ongoing call on his own life. It’s a powerful example for me. I trust it is for you as well. Let’s always remember that the Lord lavishes the greatest happiness on us...when we choose to follow Him. Together, let’s do just that. This is Andrew Palau.
