Are you living up to the "calling you have received"...? In your work? Your home? Your relationships? Why or why not? (Serendipity Bible Fourth Edition, page 1627).
Ephesians 4:1 New International Version (NIV).
As a prisoner for the Lord, then, I urge you to live a life worthy of the calling you have received.
Today I write at 3:50 PM. I have been scurrying like a lizard about St. Petersburg today filling one calling after another. So I am not in the mood right now to give a hedged and uncertain answer. I have my feet up and am relaxing a spell before heading out on another mission. My Sunday school teacher at Trinity Methodist used to tell the class to "bloom where we're planted." I really think I'm doing my best most of the time while still holding fast to the doctrine that none of this earns righteousness or is a guarantor of it. The Lord knows my heart and I leave it up to him to assess the value of anything that I do and to determine any admixture of unholy pride.
