September 18: Walk Worthy of the Calling

Scripture:
“I, therefore, the prisoner of the Lord, beseech you to walk worthy of the calling with which you were called.”
— Ephesians 4:1 (NKJV)

Points:

  1. Every believer is called by God — to salvation, to holiness, and to mission.
  2. Walking worthy means living in a way that reflects Christ’s worth.
  3. Paul appeals as a prisoner — showing the cost of this calling.
  4. Our lifestyle should honor the One who called us.
  5. Worthy walking includes humility, patience, unity, and love.

Poem: Walk Like You Are Called

You called me when I had no name.
You gave me purpose, life, and peace.
Now let my steps reflect that grace.
Let how I walk show who I serve.
Let every day be lived for You.

The world may pull with lesser goals.
But You have set a higher path.
A life that shines with patient love.
A road marked out by truth and peace.
A journey shaped by Christ in me.

To walk with worth is not to boast.
But to be faithful, firm, and kind.
To bear the weight of holy things.
To serve with joy when strength feels thin.
To choose what’s right when wrong feels close.

The calling is not light or small.
It reaches deep and rises high.
But You are near at every step.
You lead and shape my every move.
You walk beside to guide my feet.

So let me live this calling well.
Let not my life grow cold or dull.
Let courage rise in daily tasks.
Let passion burn in quiet deeds.
Let worth be known in how I walk.

Prayer:
Jesus, help me walk in a way worthy of Your calling. Let my life match the grace You’ve shown me and reflect Your love and truth to others. Amen.
