March 1 - called

“If my people who are called by My name… (2 Chronicles 7:14)

It may seem obvious, but this is a call to action only for His people. We need to be His, called by His name. What does that mean?

Unfortunately, it doesn’t mean if we call ourselves Christians. It means if He calls us His. Is He our Savior, our Redeemer? Have we accepted His free gift of salvation purchased for us by Jesus?

Let’s get real with Him. We can’t pretend or hide anything from God Almighty. If we have accepted Jesus as our Savior, has our profession of faith become little more than lip service?

Let’s examine our hearts, and see if we aren’t counting our church attendance or other good deeds to earn us a spot on the team. Have we ever truly come to the end of our “selves” and given up the seat on the throne of our lives? Are we totally committed to His truth, His ways, His plan? Does our faith truly guide our thoughts and actions?Or are we hanging out in the limbo of lukewarm?

Now is the time to get off the fence. Now is the time to truly get right with God Almighty, our Creator, our Redeemer, our Shepherd and Friend.

Let’s together take a moment to confirm with Him that He is firmly seated on the throne of our lives and that we are committed to following Him, no matter what. If we have drifted into lukewarm, let’s ask Him to make us firmly grounded in His truth and set us on fire for Him.

Today’s Action:

Read the complete chapter of Proverbs 1 today, asking Him to let His truth and wisdom sink into your renewed and refreshed heart. We do not wants be that fool who despises wisdom and instruction.

“The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge,

  but fools despise wisdom and instruction.” - (Proverbs 1:7)
