PRISONERS
Therefore I, a prisoner for serving the Lord, beg you to lead a life worthy of your calling, for you have been called by God. (NLT Ephesians 4:1)

I have noticed when I ask the students at college why they are pursuing the major they have chosen and the ultimate career path it takes them on, they often answer it is for the big paying position. We are driven by our wants and our wants are created by the bling all around us--fast cars, giant plasma televisions, latest and greatest personal computers, big houses, and you know the rest.

So often we are pursuing position and money and are pulled to what the world wants of us and never move out in our call. We are prisoners in a life without physical bars. We have been sentenced by our own desires in our pursuit of worldly things. We want our fair share; to be like everyone else. We know how they live. After all, we see their lifestyles depicted on television and in movies. Our lives are molded around fictional fantasy.

God created us and before we were born of this world, He had a plan for our life. We have been called by God and it is up to us to create a strong relationship with Him so we can find out just what He has called us for. While we search, we must lead a life worthy of our calling, a Christ like life.

Are you in relationship with Him each day asking Him to mold you and shape you into the person He has called you to be?
