Reflection: Stand in the Breach

"We know that not everyone is called to stand in the spotlight before crowds. In fact, few of us are. We are not all called to fill the same holes in the wall, but we are all called to do something. There is no checklist of day-to-day activities for a breach-stander. However, the more we read the word, pray, and listen, the more the general commands become astoundingly specific and personal.  

You are the light of the world, you are the salt of the earth (Matt. 5:13-14). You are called to be saints (1 Cor. 1:2), called to peace (1 Cor. 7:15), called to freedom (Gal. 5:13), called to walk in a manner worthy of your calling (Eph. 4:1), called to suffer (1 Pet. 2:21), called to be holy (1 Pet. 1:16). What do the calls to all believers mean for your specific calling? Ask God to show you."
