Re:Verse passage – 2 Peter 1:8-11 (day seven)
be all the more diligent to make certain about His calling and choosing you.
Jesus calls us all. In the middle of the storm, in the depths of darkness, the voice of the Lord is continually calling out to guide us to Him. The enemy will use the storms and darkness to muffle the voice of the Lord so that we do not hear Him or to think that we do not need Him; but once that voice penetrates through the void and you hear the sweetest sound, you cannot help but to draw nearer to it. The storm begins to calm and the darkness is flooded with light all because you answered the call.
for as long as you practice these things, you will never stumble.
Were you chosen or were you called? The answer is both. It is by the practice of these things, the gifts and fruit mentioned in last week’s study, that we find ourselves drawing nearer to the Lord and in turn being made into His Image. It is then that we look back and realize that this calling was bigger than us. We were chosen to become Image Bearers and His Ambassadors back into the storm and the darkness, bringing peace and light, so that others might hear His voice and realize they too have been chosen.
