The Calling Week 2: Recover Your Calling

May 25, 2025    Tim Asbill Jr

Here's a 5-day Bible reading plan and devotional guide based on the message:


Day 1: Answering God's Call Reading: Ephesians 4:1-6

Devotional: Paul urges us to "lead a life worthy of your calling" (Ephesians 4:1). This calling isn't just about our vocation, but about our entire life's purpose. God calls us first to holiness - to be set apart for Him. Reflect on how you're living out this calling in your daily life. Are there areas where you need to realign with God's purposes? Remember, you are chosen and set apart by God. Your identity as a follower of Christ should inform every aspect of your life. Today, consciously make choices that reflect your calling, whether in your words, actions, or thoughts.


Day 2: Called to Salvation Reading: 2 Timothy 1:8-10

Devotional: "For God saved us and called us to live a holy life" (2 Timothy 1:9). Our primary calling is to salvation through Jesus Christ. This isn't based on our own merit, but on God's grace and purpose. Take a moment to reflect on your salvation journey. How has God's grace transformed your life? Even if you're facing challenges or feeling discouraged, remember that your salvation is secure in Christ. It's not dependent on your performance, but on God's unchanging love. Today, thank God for His saving grace and ask Him to help you live out the holy life He's called you to.


Day 3: Sanctification - Becoming More Like Christ Reading: 1 Thessalonians 4:3-8

Devotional: God calls us to sanctification - the process of becoming more like Christ. This isn't about perfection, but progress. It's about allowing God to transform us from the inside out. Consider areas in your life where you've seen growth and areas where you still struggle. Remember, sanctification is a lifelong journey. Don't be discouraged by setbacks; instead, focus on God's faithfulness in the process. Today, identify one area where you want to grow more Christlike and ask the Holy Spirit to work in you.


Day 4: Called to Serve Reading: 1 Peter 4:10-11

Devotional: Each of us is called to serve using the gifts God has given us. Your calling to serve might be in your workplace, your community, or your church. The key is to do it all "in the name of the Lord Jesus" (Colossians 3:17). Reflect on your unique gifts and talents. How are you using them to serve others and glorify God? Remember, the size of your service doesn't determine its significance. Even small acts of kindness done in Jesus' name can have a profound impact. Today, look for an opportunity to serve someone, no matter how small it may seem.


Day 5: Persevering in Your Calling Reading: 2 Corinthians 4:7-18

Devotional: Paul reminds us that following our calling isn't always easy. We may face opposition, discouragement, or exhaustion. Yet, we are "hard pressed on every side, but not crushed" (2 Corinthians 4:8). Our calling sustains us through difficult times. Reflect on challenges you've faced in pursuing God's call on your life. How has God's strength carried you through? Remember, your calling is irrevocable - God doesn't withdraw it when things get tough. Today, if you're feeling discouraged, reclaim your calling. Ask God to renew your passion and purpose, trusting that He who called you will also sustain you.
