Answer the Call

"If it please your majesty, and if you are pleased with me, your servant, send me to Judah to rebuild the city". . .So the king agreed and I set a date for my departure. (Nehemiah 2:4-6 NLT)

Lessons from Nehemiah: Ten actions steps when the task before you is bigger than you.
1. Pray First
2. Answer the Call

Today's meditation:

• Many people hear God's call to do a certain task or follow a specific path, but because of fear or the desire to maintain the status quo, they sit idly by. Don't you dare. Answer the call.

Pray today:

• For students to respond to God's call to enroll at Emmanuel College, for them to obey the voice of the Lord, for them to find purposes, careers, and callings while on our campus, for them to acquire education, faith, and courage to be world changers.
• For faculty and staff to respond to God's call to work at Emmanuel College, for them to answer the call to prepare and mentor the next generation of leaders and workers, for them to see God's vision for the future and their place in it.
• For our many donors and supporters to answer the call to give as God directs, for some to give from their surplus, for others to give sacrificially, for all to give obediently, for those outside our circle of fellowship, who should be inside, to find us and join with us to build the College, not only as a place of refuge, but also as a place of sending and serving.

Pray First! Pray Through!
