5th. Sunday after Epiphany: God is calling Me!

This week's we focus on God calling us to be witnesses- through the story of the prophet Isaiah and that of Jesus calling ordinary fishermen to be 'fishers of all'. In both cases we see those called responding with alarm- "....but I am a sinner!" "I am afraid!" Many times in our own lives we are shaken, and indeed our souls know what it feels like to tremble before an unforseen challenge. Imagine yourself in that space for a moment. It's certainly not a comfortable place to be! Have you been aware of Jesus speaking into your life, gently prompting you towards a deeper journey of serving and witnessing for Him? This prompting may lead you to uncomfortable places; we may even struggle or suffer for Him. But God reassures those God calls- "Do not be afraid." Take some time this week to let that peace fill your heart as you listen closely to God's calling.
