Floyd told our small group he had been sensing God was calling him into full-time Christian ministry. The next step would be going to a theological seminary for training. There was just one problem. Six months earlier he had made a commitment to his parents to take a leading role in the family business. Going to seminary would leave his parents in a bind. We asked what he planned to do. He said he had prayed about it and then said, “I just found out my older sister and her husband are moving back home to start working in the family business.” I said, “Great! When do you start seminary?” He replied, “Well, I’m still not sure if God is calling me into ministry.”

We need God’s help, especially in times of uncertainty or distress. The question isn’t, “Will God respond?” More often the question is, “Will we respond to God’s help in faith and obedience?”

Floyd had a real need in his life and God provided a solution, but Floyd was having trouble seeing it. We need God’s help, especially in times of uncertainty or distress. The question isn’t, “Will God respond?” More often the question is, “Will we respond to God’s help in faith and obedience?” Today’s session will encourage us to do just that.
