Day 122 You’ve Been Called | Ephesians 4:1

Send us a text

Have you ever stopped to consider that you—yes, you—have been divinely called? Not just the preachers or those with impressive spiritual titles, but every person who belongs to Christ.

As we begin a new month-long series called "Walk Worthy," we dive deep into Ephesians 4:1 where Paul, writing from prison, urges believers to "lead a life worthy of your calling." This powerful verse reminds us that we've each been called out of darkness into light, called to represent Jesus not just through what we say but through how we live every single day. The question that confronts us is both simple and profound: Are we walking in a way that reflects the One who called us?

Walking worthy doesn't demand perfection—which is good news for all of us. Instead, it requires intentionality. It means making decisions that honor God when nobody's watching, speaking words that reflect grace and truth when it would be easier to lash out, showing mercy when resentment seems more satisfying, and choosing obedience even when it costs us something. This episode launches our journey into understanding what it truly means to live in alignment with our divine calling. It starts with remembering a fundamental truth: before you did anything noteworthy, before you even knew who you were, God called you by name, by grace, and by love. Now it's time to walk like it. Join us daily this month as we explore practical ways to honor this calling in every area of life.

shallow validation, it's easy toforget what we've really been
called to.

people who stand behind pulpitsor wear titles.

You don't have to be perfect,but you do have to be
intentional.
