We “Walk in a Manner Worthy of the Calling” by the Grace Given to Us - September 1, 2022

 

Morning by Morning, September 1 - We “Walk in a Manner Worthy of the Calling” by the Grace Given to Us

 

Good morning, Lord Jesus. I seek You -- Father, Son, and Holy Spirit of God -- with all my heart, here at the first of my day. ...

 

“I therefore, a prisoner for the Lord, urge you to walk in a manner worthy of the calling to which you have been called, with all humility and gentleness, with patience, bearing with one another in love, eager to maintain the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace. There is one body and one Spirit -- just as you were called to the one hope that belongs to your call -- one Lord, one faith, one baptism, one God and Father of all, who is over all and through all and in all. But grace was given to each one of us according to the measure of Christ's gift” (Ephesians 4:1-7 ESV).

 

Thank You for the “grace (that) was given to each one of us.” It’s only by the power of Your grace that any of us can “walk in a manner worthy of the calling to which (we) have been called.” It’s only by the power of Your grace that we can even begin to know and then to grow in that calling that You’ve “given to each one of us” according to Your will and Your plans for our lives and the lives You will touch through us.

 

And it’s certainly only by the power of Your grace that any of us can walk out and live out our calling with humility, gentleness, patience, love, and peace. You have to give us even the desire for that, along with the power for that. As Your Word says:

 

“For God is working in (us), giving (us) the desire and the power to do what pleases Him” (Philippians 2:13 NLT).

 

Our “God and Father of all” is also “in all.” You’re “working in (us)” by the power of Your Holy Spirit, “the Spirit of God” who abides in us, who is the “Spirit of Christ” living in us, giving us both the desire and the power to walk out and live out our calling in You. As Word explains:

 

“(We) are not in the flesh; (we) are in the Spirit, since the Spirit of God dwells in (us). Anyone who does not have the Spirit of Christ does not belong to Him” (Romans 8:9).

 

We desperately need You, because “Apart from (You), (we) can do nothing” but as we “abide in (You)” we are empowered to “bear much fruit” (John 15:5). That’s what I desire. And that’s why I embrace Your power by Your grace, seeking to abide in You and follow You to “walk in a manner worthy of the calling to which (I) have been called.”

 

With me, apart from You, that would be impossible. “With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible” (Matthew 19:26). And I thank You that I’m never apart from You. You are with me “always” (Matthew 28:20). You never leave me nor forsake me (Hebrews 13:5). And by Your grace, You empower me and lead me to fulfill my destiny in You, secure in my identity in You -- all “according to measure of Christ’s gift” to me. In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.
