Being Saved and Calling Upon God

Being saved has many meanings for so many people. There are those that think all they have to do is call upon God and he will automatically change their life and they lay lazily  waiting on that to take place. They wonder why he doesn't grant their every wish. Kind of like he is the magic genie in the bottle for them to command.

Well he does change your way of thinking but you have to do the work. He manipulates your future small amounts at a time and tests you often.  Sometimes it takes faith just to see the changes in your life but one day you look back and say wow he did it. I was so blind to his ways that it passed me by like a wind on my face.

The Lord will guide you always;
He will satisfy your needs in a sun-scorched land
and will strengthen your frame.
You will be like a well-watered garden,
like a spring whose waters never fail.

Isaiah 58:11 NIV
