COT:
St. Patrick was a British saint who was enslaved by the Irish at a young age. God gave him a vision one day of how and when to escape so he did fleeing back to Britain and devoting his life to the Lord.

You might ask why St. Patrick is revered in Irish folklore, well he got another vision to go back to Ireland and evangelize the Pagans that lived there. He is considered the reason Christianity was brought to Ireland in the first place.

What stands out to me about St. Patrick was his willingness to obey the calling God placed on his life.

While we’re not all called to convert thousands by preaching the gospel, God has a calling for each one of us. Maybe our calling is to be a good dad, husband, brother, son, etc. or maybe God is calling you to get outside of your comfort zone. Maybe you’re living your calling or maybe we need to make some sort of adjustment to be in better alignment with His calling. One thing is clear, we’ve each been given today as a gift.

Let’s all take one step further down the path of obedience today, just like St. Patrick did with his captors. He loved others and loved God so much that he was willing to go back to those who imprisoned him to save them. Let’s choose obedience this day.
