We tend to think that when God calls women and men like Mary and Moses, Saul and Peter, and you and me, our response to God somehow operates inside a vacuum where the rest of life simply stands still, waiting for us to make up our minds. But think about the Israelites, who had been suffering at the hands of the Egyptians for generations. Wasn't the call of Moses just as much about the Israelites' future as God's chosen people as it was about Moses' call to leadership?

As you discern your call – as you think about and pray about where you'll go next or what all you want to do later in life – remember that you are not in this alone; God is using you and working through you to accomplish great and miraculous things! Remember that your yes to God may just be the yes that many have been dreaming about and waiting for, for generations.
