14 January • When God Calls Your Name
Welcome to this Wednesday edition of A Word of Hope! On January 14th, we continue our journey through Ordinary Time by shifting our perspective. While yesterday we focused on pleading with God for help, today we reflect on how God often takes the initiative to intervene in our lives.
In this reflection, we explore the biblical moment when God wakes Samuel from his sleep to call him by name. Just as He called Mary, and just as He called the prophets, God calls us to play a part in His plan.
Key themes discussed in this video:
God’s Initiative: Understanding that God meets us where we are.
The "Long Play": How God plants seeds today that may not bear fruit for decades.
Hidden vs. Flashy: Why God’s most powerful work is often quiet and mysterious, rather than loud and attention-grabbing.
Your Role: A prayer for the clarity to see God’s plan and the courage to follow it.
If you are wondering where God is leading you, or why His plan seems to be taking so long, this message is for you.
