Before you start...

The Old Testament starts with these words:
In the beginning, God...
The New Testament starts with these words:
In the beginning was the Word, the Word was with God, and the Word was God.

Sometimes we get so caught up in looking for something esoteric in the Bible that we miss simple things. Everything great thing that we see in the Bible begins with God. Here are a few examples:

  • God tells Moses to tell Pharaoh to let His people go. 
  • God told Samuel to choose Saul as Israel's first king
  • God called the Judges
  • God called the prophets
  • God says "This is my beloved son in whom I am well pleased" at the beginning of Jesus' ministry
God has a plan for all of us. A lot of times we miss it because we don't know where to start.

My challenge to you is to listen to God... and ask Him what it is He wants you to do, and how He wants to accomplish it. Don't "Go" until you hear Him!
