Hear The Calling…Adjust Your Life Accordingly

Ephesians  4:1 (MSG), “In light of all this, here's what I want you to do. While I'm locked up here, a prisoner for the Master, I want you to get out there and walk - better yet, run! - on the road God called you to travel. I don't want any of you sitting around on your hands. I don't want anyone strolling off, down some path that goes nowhere.”

The NIRV says, “I am a prisoner because of the Lord. So I am asking you to live a life worthy of what God chose you for.”

Either translation brings across the thought that we should walk in a manner that is worthy of the calling of God on our lives.  God has plan for each of our lives.  Whatever the calling is on our lives, we must reverberate God in every way possible.  Our lives must shine so that people will be led to Him.  That means that our actions must be commendable.  Our speech would need to be appropriate and “clean”.  What we read or watched would have to reflect pure, godly intentions.  The way we dress should be modest and follow godly principles. 

If God has called or is calling you to do something for Him, step out in faith and get out there and do it.  Don’t just casually stroll down the path He has chosen for you.  Run…with passion.  The path He has chosen for you will not always be easy…but it will be worthy it!  ♥
