FAITH CAPSULE: The calling of God is never short of His backing! 

Genesis 37

Did you receive the calling of God?
The calling of God is like a puzzle that needs to get the picture before getting the complete picture.
The calling of God is like a puzzle that needs to get the picture before getting the complete picture.
At the calling of Abraham, the command to go and the blessing for going did not come with details. 
At his calling, God did not identify the challenges of temptation and confrontation ahead of Abraham. 
God commanded Abraham, “…Get out of your country, from your family and your father’s house to a land that I will show you. I will make you a great nation; I will bless you And make your name great; And you shall be a blessing. I will bless those who bless you, and I will curse him who curses you, and in you, all the families of the earth shall be blessed.” (Genesis 12:1-3). 
The calling of God is never short of His backing! 
Has He called you and not backed you up? 
The challenges and temptations that come your way in answering the calling over your life are not evidence that He has withdrawn from seeing you through. 
When God calls, nothing counts but to fully answer with obedience. 
God will call regardless of the position or age of the one called. 
Abraham was seventy-five when he responded to the calling of God.
In His calling, neither old age nor young age can limit God from calling. The calling of God is like attempting to put thousands of pieces of a puzzle together for a complete picture to emerge. 
When putting the puzzle together with a missing puzzle, the complete picture will not emerge.
The dream of Joseph was a confirmation of the divine agenda of God for his life. 
There was no indication of how the dream would emerge.
Joseph had a dream twice and was discouraged because it was a puzzle to his family. 
When Joseph had the second dream, “…he told it to his father and his brothers; and his father rebuked him and said to him, “What is this dream that you have dreamed? Shall your mother and I and your brothers indeed come to bow down to the earth before you?” 11 And his brothers envied him, but his father kept the matter in mind.” (Genesis 37:10-11) 
Joseph entered the journey he dreamt of at age seventeen and was not complete until he was thirty.
The journey was full of challenges and temptations. 
Indeed, it was a puzzle that could not have become a complete picture with only a piece missing.
It is only you who knows the dream that you have had or the calling that He has placed upon your life. 
Focus on God, He will see you through. 
Remember, the puzzle will not become a complete picture until all the pieces come together.

Prayer for today: Ask God to deliver and preserve you in His calling.
