Climbing Higher~ 3th Sunday after Epiphany

Jonah 3:1-5,10:God called Jonah to go and preach to Nineveh. He did & the people prayed and mourned for their sins. then god forgave and saved them. 

Ps. 62:5-12:I wait upon God who is my refuge, strength, & rock. So I shall not be moved. God reward us for the works we do.

1 Cor. 7:29-31: Redeem the time.

Mark 1:14-20:Jesus calls Simon, Andrew, James, & John to follow him & they did.

The theme is fulfilling our calling. 

We see the calling of Jonah, as well as four of Jesus disciples to follow him and bring the good news to people (Mark 1:14-20, Jonah 3:1). We also see the affect of what can happen when we do our calling (Jonah 3:1-5, 10).  But he had to wait upon God to move the peoples hearts. We too need to be willing to wait upon the Lord to tell us what our calling is, who to give the Good News to, and when to just wait for God to grow the seed that you have planted, or when to harvest that seed. We are told to not waste our time on things that do not matter, but to redeem the time (1 Cor. 7:29-31). 

Challenge of the week:

What are you called to do to help give the Good News to others? 

Accomplishment of the week:

What did God tell you?  How will you fulfill that?
