Year 6, Day 114: Hebrews 10

Discipleship Focus: Calling

• Calling asks whether or not God has called the person to the particular work at this point in their life.

Hebrews 10 ends with a great string of verses regarding our calling.  Here we find challenge.  We should not throw away our confidence.  We must endure to do the will of God.  We should surely not shrink back.  We must have faith.

When I hear these verses, I cannot help but to think that the author of Hebrews is returning to the point that he has made several chapters back.  At one point we were children in the faith.  At one point we were young and just learning.  But now we are mature.  We should not go back to the spiritual milk we once required when we are capable of spiritual meat!

When we are called by God, we do need the support of the system.  Spiritual people pour themselves into us for a time.  But that circumstance should not continue!  We should not continue to be a drain on the system.  We should be creators and innovators who bring newness to the church!  We should be ministers who find new places to bring the grace of God.  We should not be people who constantly need to be fed; we should be people fed by God and capable of feeding others!  We must persevere.  We must continue on.  We must not shrink back.
