1 Corinthians 7:17
1 Corinthians 7:17
But as God hath distributed to every man, as the Lord hath called every one, so let him walk.
But as God hath distributed to every man, as the Lord hath called every one, so let him walk. This verse from 1 Corinthians 7:17 speaks to the idea that each person has been given a unique calling and purpose by God. As we walk through life, we are to walk according to the calling that God has placed upon us, embracing His purpose and plan for our lives. Birthdays provide an opportunity to reflect on the journey we’ve walked and how we’ve responded to God’s call. Are we walking in obedience, or have we strayed from the path He has set for us? God’s calling is not generic; it is specific to each person, and He equips us to fulfill it. As we celebrate another year, let us commit to walking more faithfully in the direction He has called us, trusting that He will guide our steps and provide what we need to fulfill His purpose.
Isaiah 61:1
The Spirit of the Lord God is upon me; because the Lord hath anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek; he hath sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound.
Romans 8:30
Moreover whom he did predestinate, them he also called: and whom he called, them he also justified.
2 Peter 1:10
Brethren, give diligence to make your calling and election sure: for if ye do these things, ye shall never fall.
1 Corinthians 1:9
God is faithful, by whom ye were called unto the fellowship of his Son Jesus Christ our Lord.
