FAITH CAPSULE: Think and wait on God that waits to act for those who wait on Him.

1 Kings 19

God alone is the Only perfect God. 
Time is in the hand of God to control, and none dictates to God determining how time goes.
God is is in a position to call anyone to His attention without being avoided by anyone.
Jonah attempted to avoid the calling assignment of God, but he could not hide but only run. 
Jonah 1:1-3 records, “Now the word of the Lord came to Jonah the son of Amittai, saying, “Arise, go to Nineveh, that great city, and cry out against it; for their wickedness has come up before Me.” But Jonah arose to flee to Tarshish from the presence of the Lord. He went down to Joppa, and found a ship going to Tarshish; so he paid the fare, and went down into it, to go with them to Tarshish from the presence of the Lord.”
Under heaven, no one can avoid the calling of God. 
The effort of Jonah to run away from answering to the calling of God placed him in the belly of the fish for three days and three nights.
Are you avoiding by running away from the hand of God, the calling of God? 
God does have unfailing means to get attention from any of His creations.
When it was time for God to call Moses, there was no way out for Moses to avoid the calling of God. 
Exodus 3:1-3 states, “Now Moses was tending the flock of Jethro his father-in-law, the priest of Midian. And he led the flock to the back of the desert and came to Horeb, the mountain of God. And the Angel of the Lord appeared to him in a flame of fire from the midst of a bush. So he looked, and behold, the bush was burning with fire, but the bush was not consumed. Then Moses said, “I will now turn aside and see this great sight, why the bush does not burn.” 
Ignorance is not possible for turning aside from God. 
Ignorance will hold one from answering to the calling of God.
God called Elisha through Elijah.
God said to Elijah, “And Elisha the son of Shaphat of Abel Meholah you shall anoint as prophet in your place.” (1 Kings 19:16)
Elisha delayed his answering to the calling of God when he responded first to Elijah, “And he left the oxen and ran after Elijah, and said, “Please let me kiss my father and my mother, and then I will follow you.” And he said to him, “Go back again, for what have I done to you?” (1 King 19;19)
Elisha eventually put all aside to follow Elijah, answering to the calling of God. 1 Kings 19:21 records, “…Then he arose and followed Elijah, and became his servant.”
What is holding you from answering to the calling of God over your life?
Think and wait on God that waits to act for those who wait on Him.

Prayer for today: Ask God to deliver you in His righteousness.
