The Commands of God

At the beginning of his ministry St Francis is told by God to go rebuild His church.  Francis had been the son of a cloth merchant, he wasn't a builder. Francis took Gods message literally and rebuilt churches ar first, and he wasn't a scholar or an orator or anyway "qualified" to reform the Church.  So why did God choose Him for the task, because Francis was still the best one for the job.

God may not talk to us in the way He did to Francis, but He does call us to do His work.  He may not call you to do what you want to do and what makes you comfortable but you still have to respond with a yes.  You may want glory and he may need you to clean toilets.  You may want to sit back and not do anything scary or dangerous but He may want you to risk all.  Either way, the answer has to be yes, just look at what He did for you.
