Scripture
Therefore, holy brethren, partakers of a heavenly calling, consider Jesus, the Apostle and High Priest of our confession; He was faithful to Him who appointed Him….Hebrews 3:1-2

Observation
This week the world has been rehearsing the moonwalk, ala Jackson style. On YouTube a prison yard of men in orange jumpsuits have scored over 27 million hits with their imitation Michael Jackson rendition. Where there is a master there will be mimics. But the risk for the impersonator is that he will forget the sound of his own voice.

I had this thought the other day. Am I living my own life or someone else’s? There are stars I respect who walk on stages that I watch. Before long I can be mimicking their moonwalk.

The fulfillment of life is to have a life calling fully explored. I’m to be metamorphasising, letting the Jesus in me out naturally. The way to find my call is to consider Jesus’ call and his faithfulness. There were moments that Jesus waded up Niagara Falls of expectations to move to the source of his call. Into the roar of the waves, Jesus spoke words like this that parted the waters and let him move closer to the Father:
Father forgive them
Not my will but yours be done
I am willing, be clean
Son your sins are forgiven
The Son of Man is Lord of the Sabbath
You don’t understand what I’m doing

Application
The message is simple: stay close to Jesus. While the world is telling you who to be like, listen as Jesus reminds who we are. Calling costs. Just consider Jesus. Calling also pays. Consider Jesus again.

Prayer
Father, today, I look to Jesus for instruction so I never have to be reminded how to act. Instead, let Jesus live himself out through me. Amen.
