ON CALL

     Ever have a job where you were on call? You have the day off, but know that at any moment you can be called out to work. Well, It doesn't take to many calls, on your day off, to learn a few lessons.
      If you're really good and responsible you answer the phone. You respect the position, the responsibility, the job, your authority. The little voice inside you tells you, it's just the right thing to do. Answer the Call.
     Next, is that you don't hold tight to plans. You know up front, that whatever the plans, they may not happen the way you want. And you let everyone involved know that things could change at any moment.
      Then, you don't put things off. You know your suppose to be off all day or even all weekend. You learn if there is something you really want to do or have done, you do it ASAP. Why? Because you're not guaranteed tomorrow or today even. So you make sure you use the time you have right now.
      Then finally, You prepare for anything. You prepare to be off, you prepare to go in. But you are ready for anything. Your plans are made if you stay. Your stuff is ready if you have to leave in a moments notice. You are prepared.
     That's how it is to be in our christian walk. We are on call, 24/7. Step up and answer the call. We hold to this life and it's stuff loosely and we take advantage of the NOW time we are given. All of this life will be shaken. And we are not promised tomorrow, but only today. Whatever needs to be done here, do it today. Prepare for anything.
