Observations on the Calling of God
I believe that God can call us through a mystical or logical persuasion (Ex 3.1-11, Acts 9.1-9, 1 Tim 3.1-7 Mt 4.19, Mt 10.1-2, Mk 3.13-14, Lk 6.12-13)
I believe the call of God is a preordained sovereign act of His choosing and it cannot be revoked (Rom 11.29)
I believe there is a generic call to follow Jesus and make His disciples on every human on the planet (1 Pet 3.18, 2 Pet 3.9, Mt 4.19, 28.18-20)
I believe the call of God can be resisted and disobeyed (Ex 3.1-11, Jonah 1.1-4)

Forms of God's Calling
Mystical – Moses and the burning bush (Ex 3.1-11), Paul and the blinding light (Acts 9.1-9)
Logical – A man’s Desire to be an overseer (1 Tim 3.1-7), the 12 following Jesus (Mt 4.19, Mt 10.1-2, Mk 3.13-14, Lk 6.12-13)
Combination of Both – Jesus growing into His calling and hearing from God (Lk 2.40, Mt 1.16, Mk 1.10, Lk 3.22, Jn 1.32-33), Paul’s Missionary Journey into Asia Minor (Acts 16.6-10 Paul making decisions and then the HS directing) David being chosen by Samuel the prophet (1 Sam 16.1-13)

God’s design for us is from eternity past (Ps 139.13-16, Jer 29.11-13, Eph 2.10)
And yet we are to respond by human will (Eph 4.1, 2 Pet 1.10)
But the calling of God is irrevocable (Rom 11.29)
Following Jesus is a generic calling to all men (1 Pet 3.18, 2 Pet 3.9, Mat 22.14)

Observations from the Call of Timothy
Timothy was recruited by Paul to accompany him on the mission (Act 16.1-3)
Timothy came out of good stock being discipled by his mother and grandmother (2 Tim 1.5)
Throughout Paul’s writings to Timothy he give strong exhortation to fulfill his gifting as a spiritual leader (1 Tim 1.3,18, 4.12,14, 6.20, 2 Tim 1.8-9, 4.5)
Paul assumes that there will be a natural reproduction of Timothy’s calling (2 Tim 2.2)
Although there is certainly a spiritual/mystical component to Timothy’s calling, most of his calling is realized in Paul’s training and exhortation to be an godly effective overseer/elder (esp. in Ephesus)
Besides the example of the 12 and Timothy a key verse for the calling of God to vocational ministry as a natural/logical pursuit is 1 Tim 3.1-7.
