I was reading about the call of Elisha this morning in 1 Kings 19. Elisha is plowing in the field when he is approached by Elijah and anointed to succeed him as a mighty prophet. Elisha slaughters his oxen, burns his plowing equipment and sets out to follow the call of Elijah and the Lord.
Although I am not being called to burn all my belongings, I am reminded that they are only things and I shouldn't be attached to them. My possessions should never come between me and God's will for my life. Right now, that means getting ready to go to Ghana.
