Apply It!

How do you glorify God? Answer His call in your life and complete down to the last detail what He has assigned you to do....

John 17.4 (MSG) - The Words of Jesus before His Crucifixion
I glorified you on earth
By completing down to the last detail
What you assigned me to do (emphasis added)

Will it be easy to answer God's Call in your life?.......nope, you must persevere and stand the test, but if you do, God has something for you!

James 1:12 (New International Version)
12Blessed is the man who perseveres under trial, because when he has stood the test, he will receive the crown of life that God has promised to those who love him. (emphasis added)

Do you answer His call and persevere on your own? nope, you must Trust in God and your confidence for life must be rooted in The Carpenter of Creation.....

Jeremiah 17:7-8 (New International Version)
7 "But blessed is the man who trusts in the LORD,
whose confidence is in him. (emphasis added)

8 He will be like a tree planted by the water
that sends out its roots by the stream.
It does not fear when heat comes;
its leaves are always green.
It has no worries in a year of drought
and never fails to bear fruit."

Do what He has called you to do, persevere and stand, Trust and root your confidence in God.....now, go apply this to your life, your specific circumstances, if you don't know where to start, ask God, don't ask the world. God created you, the world does not define you...God wants you to know His will for your life more than you want to know it!
