Who Calls For You?

“Who Calls For You?” by Kirk Hunt

 

And king Solomon sent and fetched Hiram out of Tyre.

1 Kings 7:13 KJV

 

When Solomon needed a craftsman for the Temple, he wanted, and could afford the best.  He called Hiram, a man of mixed heritage, from the nation of Tyre.  How Solomon heard of Hiram, Scripture does not say.

 

Selected and called by the king, Hiram took his place as the lead of all of Israel’s craftsmen.  Hiram had a hand in designing and building all of the decorations, fittings, implements and even furnishings of the Temple.  Quite a call to service.

 

God has a calling for you.  Your name may not be in the diplomatic messages of nations (see 2 Chronicles 2) but it will come up.  How will you answer?

 

Scripture says Hiram “was filled with wisdom, and understanding, and cunning.”  How did Hiram gain all of these qualities and skills?  Scripture is silent on that point.

 

What matters is that when the call came Hiram answered.  God had seen to it that Hiram had the skills and abilities needed to fulfill his assignment.  When God’s call comes, you will have the qualifications you need.

 

Your willing head and hands are the main thing.  If your heart and mind are determined to serve Him, He will take care of the rest.  When the call comes, give the right answer.

 

 

Think:             Will I be obedient to God’s call on my life?

 

Pray:              “Lord, help me to answer Your call.”
