Easy to pray for others; easy to say just what others should do. My friend, Bill, prays; Lord stir up his praying and help him grow in it. My friend, Michael, moves in the prophetic; Lord, give him words to prophesy and stir his gift.

But as the prophet, Nathan, said to King David long ago, when David was ranting about what someone else did and should suffer, “Thou art the man” (2nd Samuel 12:7). David was quick to pronounce judgment over others, but what about himself? He was the one who was the guilty.

The Bible admonishes to “Stir up the gift that is in thee” (2nd Timothy 1:6) and I was asking God to move on my friend’s to stir up their gifts, but what about me stirring up mine? What was I doing to follow the admonishment? Not much! So, this is my first step, a return to blogging.

Why a blog instead of a diary? Feedback! A blog is open to others who can comment, encourage, correct, and express how what is written affect them. A diary exposes ideas to one’s self from one’s own perspective. I already have my perspective, how will more of the same help?

Who would I want to connect with on my blog? Fellow pilgrims in life’s journey of following Christ. “Iron sharpens iron” the old saying goes (Proverbs 27:17).

If I blog successfully throughout this next year, I expect my communication skills to improve, Jesus to be honored, and God’s people encouraged to press onward and upward; a win-win for everyone.

How do you know when God is calling you to be his or to do a particular service or ministry?

“One little boy describes it this way”, our pastor said, “It’s like fishing. You can’t see the fish or hear it, but you feel it tugging on your line.”

God’s call is like that.  When he’s calling, you may not see or hear anything new or different but you feel Him tugging on your heart.
