Make every effort to confirm
your calling and election.
—2 Peter 1:10
This day won’t leave you as it found you. It will leave you stronger or weaker—with faith, hope, and love enlarged or diminished. It will leave you more congenial or more disagreeable, more thoughtful or more inconsiderate, more judgmental or more tolerant—more godly or more ungodly.
Your attitudes and decisions change you—and change those around you.
We elect government officials to be our voice—trust them to represent and speak for us. It doesn’t take long to learn if that trust was well-placed or misplaced.
God has chosen you to be his voice in your circle of influence. He trusts you to represent him, to speak and act for him. Well-placed or misplaced?
Remind yourself with each encounter that this person will be different from having been in your presence.
You’ve been elected by God, not by people.
