Called and equipped
November 7, 2018
Life’s seasons demand that we grow or stagnate. We chose. Do we step up to the challenge of our calling, grow in faith and skills? Or do we waver and succumb to inaction? My friend recently stated, “Who wants to be a piece of holy driftwood?” We would say ‘No.’
But I must examine myself. Have I soaked up God’s blessing, heard His call for me to do good in places where I see needs, but shrink back and take no action? Do I look at the hardships and dangers and decide I’ll sit on the sidelines today, holy driftwood?
Along with his calling, He promises to equip us. II Peter 1: 3—8 is clear. He equips us within for action so that we will not be ineffective or unfruitful.
