When the LORD saw that he had turned aside to see, God called to him out of the
bush, "Moses, Moses!" And he said, "Here I am."
God's call may not always be clear, but we must listen and follow.
(Exodus 3:4
NRSV)
Darden K. Caylor, a pastor, says that the day he decided to become a minister is still clearly
etched in his mind. He was sitting at his Grandma Rula's house when he heard a voice speak to
him. At first it was muffled, but then it became clearer. It said, "You should become a minister."
Caylor couldn't believe it. Was God really speaking to him? Did God really want him to become a
minister? He was so shocked he couldn't move. The voice spoke again. This time, however, he
was somewhat confused by what it said. This time the voice said, "If you build it, they will come."
It was then that he opened his eyes and saw Grandma Rula standing over him. She was saying,
"You should become a minister." It seems he had fallen asleep watching the movie "Field of
Dreams." In his sleepy mind, the movie's message and Grandma Rula's message had become
intertwined.
Dear God, help me to hear you, as I do my best in following your call. Amen.
