When His Calling Doesn't Match Our Dreams

My thoughts for this episode comes from training our new pup, Ellie. She's smart and has been so quick to pick up on concepts but she is still a dog. I can sometimes visibly see the struggle between hearing my command and obeying me vs. doing something she really had her heart set on. 

It made me think of seasons we can go through in our life as believers when God calls us to do something that is drastically different than our plans and dreams. We often hear about the blessing of obedience when we do submit to His will, but can we also acknowledge that sometimes there's a grieving and hard transition on our end, too? It may feel lonely and isolate us even, especially if we have to break ties with a friend or family member when standing upon the truth of God. 

Today we look at Abraham and Moses' mother with reminders of Hannah and Jonah's journey as well. The prosperity gospel isn't biblical because sometimes to follow the Lord it requires giving up those things we feel like we deserve.
