When his wife independently told him she thought he should quit too, he knew needed to act, regardless of the consequences. When this went on night after night he became convinced that the next job wasn’t the issue. He was awakened in the middle of the night with a strong conviction that God was asking him to quit his highly successful sales job. Several years ago a friend of mine asked for prayer to confirm a sudden call in his life. Sudden calls are extraordinary occurrences of divine intervention to do something that to others might look crazy. And it’s no day trip with a backpack for us either. He packed up 75 years of accumulated possessions, livestock, family and servants. Like the Old Testament patriarch Abraham obeying the call of God to relocate, sometimes we need to move first before God shows us where to land (Gen 12:1). Sometimes we know God is moving us rather abruptly into a new adventure. In this post, I examine one of the three signs that might suggest you’re entering a new chapter in your life: The sudden call. But what about those other, more normal times? How do you know when you’re about to enter a new chapter in your life? It’s one thing to begin a new chapter when it’s thrust upon you, say through a job loss. Predictability helps us be more effective and efficient.Īt certain times, though, our lives become unpredictable. We can predict what we’ll be doing next year because it’s likely very similar to last year. Most of the time, our lives are rather routine.
