You have called us with a holy calling!

 

Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints 

⏤ Ephesians 6:18 

Take care that you work with the mighty tool of prayer, and nothing can stand against you. 

⏤ Charles Spurgeon

You have called us with a holy calling! We are called by God, given to us Jesus as our example, we are to follow Him, to reflect and imitate Him, that is why God gave Him to us, as our model, our example of how to live. God left His heavenly glory and became human, that You might be our Redeemer, Jesus did this for us, God. God wants us to be holy, upright, to not sin, and to follow the example Jesus gave us! 

The Mornings with God App today said, "O Jesus, You have called us with a holy calling. We desire to be worthy of the honor You have bestowed upon us. You have redeemed us by Your blood. You have taken us into fellowship with Yourself. You are not ashamed to call us brethren. You have made us heirs of God, joint heirs with You. You have given us eternal life! Make us indeed worthy of this exalted honor. Cleanse and purify us, that we may be like You in spirit, disposition, and character. Give us the same desires that are in Your heart, that we may hate what You hate and love what You love. May we be partakers in Your work for the upbuilding of Your cause and the extension of Your kingdom. Give us this day the same mind that was in You. You left Your heavenly glory and became human, that You might be our Redeemer. You lived to serve, giving out Your life in unsparing service, even dying in love for Your people. We desire to have the same spirit. Save us from all selfishness, which would lead us to withhold ourselves from serving others with the best that is in us. Save us from all pride, which would lead us to think of ourselves more highly than we ought to think, and may we always be clothed with humility. Lead us into Your ways of service. Lord Jesus, help us to live this day as You would live if You were here in our place. May we be holy, harmless, undefiled, and separate from sinners. May we be kind in all our family relationships and with those outside. Help us to be diligent in all our business. May we live unspotted from the world. Bless us in all ways in Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen."

We are promised life eternal with Jesus, when we follow Him, when we reflect and imitate Him as we go about on this Earth School journey! We should be partakers in Your work for the upbuilding of Your cause and the extension of Your kingdom in Heaven! What a blessing! We are called, called for a holy life!
