Daily Devotions: The Price of the Call - June 15, 2026

Acts 9:15–16 (ESV) - “But the Lord said to him, ‘Go, for he is a chosen instrument of mine to carry my name before the Gentiles and kings and the children of Israel. For I will show him how much he must suffer for the sake of my name.’” In this episode of Daily Devotions, Pastor David Sumrall reflects on the call of God through the life of the Apostle Paul. Unlike a job offer filled with promises of comfort and benefits, God’s call is a summons to serve Christ faithfully, whatever the cost. From the very beginning, Paul was made aware that following God’s purpose for his life would involve sacrifice, hardship, and perseverance. Pastor Sumrall explains that true ministry is not about status, popularity, or a glamorous lifestyle. The call of God is about reaching people with the gospel and being willing to pay the price required to fulfill that assignment. God does not hide the challenges of ministry; He calls men and women who are committed to Christ above personal comfort. This Daily Devotion reminds us that every genuine calling comes with responsibility, sacrifice, and dedication. ---- Don’t forget to like, subscribe to Cathedral of Praise TV https://www.youtube.com/c/cathedralofpraiseTV/?sub_confirmation=1,and hit the bell icon 🔔 to stay updated.
