"Called of God"

"For Thou, O God, hast heard my vows: Thou hast given me the heritage of those that fear Thy name." (Psalms 61:5) Prior to my encounter with Jesus, my life was somewhat just a bunch of random accidents; at least that is what I thought they were back then. But you know, God has a way of keeping us from going too far, and too out of control, and even though we might not have given Him our lives yet, His hand was still upon our lives, right from the start. I don't know how to explain it, because it is way too far beyond my ability to reason; but God says that it is so, and that is good enough for me to believe it. Actually, anything that God says must be viewed as the truth, whether we can comprehend it or not, that does not matter, if God said it is so, then so it is, period, end of argument. As far as "vows" are concerned, there is really only one vow that I believe that God will hold us to, and that is the one where we said, "I believe You are who You say that You are!" Beyond that, I don't really think we are capable of much else; at least not anything that has to do with obedience to His commands; if you have broken one, then you are guilty of breaking them all, that's just a fact. The "heritage" that we have been given is not based upon who we are, but it is based upon who God is, and whether or not we believe in Him or not; if we believe that His is God, that He called us to Himself, and that He loves in spite of ourselves, then that "heritage" is ours; "the heritage of those that fear Thy name" is for those that take Him at His word, regardless of what the world might say, others might think, or even if we don't totally understand what He is saying, He is God the Father, and He knows best, because He knows everything...
"Present the case for your idols, says the LORD. Let them show what they can do, says the King of Israel. Let them try to tell us what happened long ago so that we may consider the evidence. Or let them tell us what the future holds, so we can know what is going to happen. Yes, tell us what will occur in the days ahead. Then we will know you are gods. In fact, do anything - good or bad! Do something that will amaze and frighten us. But no! You are less than nothing and can do nothing at all. Those who choose you pollute themselves." (Isaiah 41:21-24)
