Walking Worthy

Therefore I, a prisoner for serving the Lord, beg you to lead a life worthy of your calling, for you have been called by God. Always be humble and gentle. Be patient with each other, making allowance for each other’s faults because of your love. Make every effort to keep yourselves united in the Spirit, binding yourselves together with peace. For there is one body and one Spirit, just as you have been called to one glorious hope for the future. Ephesians 4:1-4

Living a life worthy of my calling...have you ever thought about that? God has called me, do I live that way? Am I doing what He wants me to? The enormity of the fact that God has called me is overwhelming to me--it's huge! Why is it that we need to be reminded to walk worthy? Is it any wonder that those words are followed up with--get over yourselves and play nice with others (ok, so I put that in my own words, but you get the point!). We can get so inwardly focused that we forget Who we are living for. How is that possible?

Oh, to be so consumed with doing what God has equipped and called me to do and to turn away from my own comfort and preferences! Where would this world be! How the Gospel would be advanced, if only, we would lead a life worthy of our calling!
