The Calling Week 1 : Am I being Called?

May 18, 2025    Tim Asbill Jr

Here's a 5-day Bible reading plan and devotional guide:


Day 1: Discovering Your Divine Calling Reading: Ephesians 4:1-6

Devotional: Paul's words in Ephesians 4:1 echo through time: "Lead a life worthy of your calling, for you have been called by God." This profound statement invites us to reflect on our purpose and identity in Christ. Today, consider that your calling is not just about what you do, but who you are becoming. God has uniquely created you, setting you apart for His glory. As you go through your day, pause and ask yourself: "Am I living in a way that reflects my calling in Christ?" Remember, your primary calling is to be holy - set apart for God's purposes. Seek to embody Christ's character in your interactions, decisions, and attitudes today.


Day 2: The Heart of a Servant Reading: Mark 10:35-45

Devotional: James and John's request for positions of honor reveals a common human desire for importance and recognition. Yet Jesus redefines greatness through the lens of servanthood. Today, reflect on areas in your life where you might be seeking prominence or validation. How can you shift your focus to serving others instead? Remember Jesus' words: "Whoever wants to be first must be slave of all." Look for opportunities to serve without expectation of reward or recognition. In doing so, you align yourself with Christ's example and fulfill your calling to reflect His character in the world.


Day 3: Faithfulness in Small Things Reading: Mark 11:1-10

Devotional: The disciples' "donkey duty" might have seemed insignificant, but it played a crucial role in Jesus' triumphal entry. This reminds us that no task is too small when done for God's glory. Today, pay attention to the "small" responsibilities in your life - at home, work, or in your community. Approach each task, no matter how mundane, as an opportunity to serve God faithfully. Remember, "Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord" (Colossians 3:23). Your faithfulness in small things is a powerful testimony of your calling in Christ.


Day 4: Living a Holy Life Reading: 1 Peter 1:13-16

Devotional: Peter's exhortation to "be holy in all you do" echoes the sermon's emphasis on holiness as our primary calling. Holiness isn't about perfection, but about being set apart for God's purposes. Today, examine your thoughts, words, and actions. Are they aligned with God's character? Identify one area where you can make a conscious effort to live more "set apart" for God. This might involve changing a habit, adjusting your speech, or reorienting your priorities. Remember, holiness is not achieved through your own strength, but through reliance on the Holy Spirit's transforming power.


Day 5: Finding Purpose in Every Season Reading: Ecclesiastes 3:1-11

Devotional: Life's seasons can sometimes make us question our calling or purpose. Yet, as Solomon reflects, there is a time for everything under heaven. Your calling isn't limited to one specific role or season - it's about faithfully representing Christ in every circumstance. Today, consider your current season. Whether it's a time of growth, challenge, or waiting, how can you fulfill your calling to be like Christ in this moment? Remember that God works in and through all seasons of our lives. Trust His timing and seek to glorify Him in whatever situation you find yourself in today.
