Episode 1284: Your Calling Is More Secure Than Your Confidence

Romans 8:28 says God works all things together for good for those who have been called according to His purpose. We reach for the comfort of that first part and skip past the foundation of it. The calling isn't incidental to the promise. It's what makes the promise possible. You were foreknown, predestined, called, justified, and glorified. Five links, no gaps. And your calling sits right in the middle of a plan that was already ancient before your first breath. There will be seasons when you can't feel it, when circumstances make it seem impossible, when you wonder if you misheard. But your calling is not contingent on your consistency. It is held in place by the faithfulness of the One who issued it. You may waver. The call does not. So what is one concrete step you will take this week in response to what God has been stirring in you?Pursuing God with Gene Appel is designed to help you pursue God, build community, and unleash compassion.
