We pleaded with you, encouraged you, and urged you to live your lives in a way that God would consider worthy. For he called you into his Kingdom to share his glory.
There are really only two responses when God calls you: obey or ignore. Life Magazine once printed a story about President Kennedy during a tumultuous time:
In stark contrast, when we call upon the Lord, God knows exactly who we are and He responds righteously to our pleas. Because of His response, when He calls we must righteously and reverently respond to His call and obey. When we respond in this way, we are called into His Kingdom and we share in His glory. Are you responding to God's call? Are you completely giving in to His will for your life?One morning President Kennedy was in his bedroom when a special, top-secret telephone began to ring. He, expecting the worst, picked up the receiver. He said, "This is the president," the voice startled on the other end, "I must have the wrong number; I’m trying to reach a French laundry." White House communications experts never figured out where the call came from, or how it had been patched through to that vital telephone line.
