GodReflection: When God Calls

My phone is about to ring. It’s a nagging thought. It’s a faint voice generated from the core of my soul. Is God about to call me to ask that I re-up my trust?
It is both the good news and the bad news.

God’s call to trust is tied tightly with our earth walk. The good news is each time I am called to re-up my trust I morph a tad more into the likeness of the Holy. The bad news is I must step off the ledge and trust God with the darkness of the unknown for growth in His likeness to take place.

Like you, I don’t like the black freefalls. It reminds me of the experience inside a cave when I waited to hear a pebble hit the bottom as I tossed my small stone into a dark pit.

Prior to this post I went to the internet to find a life expectancy calculator.

It predicted my demise to be August 26, 2027. I certainly wouldn’t risk money on the accuracy of the prediction. I would have a better shot were I to purchase a lottery ticket the next time the grand payout exceeds the half billion dollars mark.

However, when I consider my age, my gene pool and my current medical profile, I would guess at best I’m into the last decade of my earth walk. That’s my guess rather than a revelation from God. Only He knows.

During my so called productive years I was at least under the allusion that I was in control. Mostly, I went where I wanted, when I wanted, and how I wanted.

The process of aging has challenged my control switch. What once seemed as if it came as a given is no longer my reality. Each day calls me to relinquish more control. Even the allusion of whatever control I thought I had over my daily life is gone.

God’s call to crossover the horizon of my earthly walk has begun to echo from the distant canyons.

Within that echo I faintly hear the call to re-up my Trust in His provision and care. There is a sense in which I find myself on a stretch of life’s trail that is unknown.

While on the productive doing portion of the trail even though the unseen was before me, it was as at least interpreted somewhat through a familiar landscape with trail markers I had seen before. While I moved toward the unknown the familiar aided my trust element.

I find I am now in uncharted waters. Never have I been so close to eternity’s door. Before, my intellect knew life to be a progression toward the next reality but there was a sense of prolonged distance that kept the transition out of sight and away from my daily walk. What was once a distant concept is now casting its shadow in the headlights.

So here I am being called to re-up on trust as I await the next call from Father God.

Any advice?

Stay tuned.
