1 Corinthians 7:20-24 You Are Free, Yet A Slave
Each person should remain in the situation they were in when God called them. Were you a slave when you were called? Don’t let it trouble you—although if you can gain your freedom, do so For the one who was a slave when called to faith in the Lord is the Lord’s freed person; similarly, the one who was free when called is Christ’s slave You were bought at a price; do not become slaves of human beings Brothers and sisters, each person, as responsible to God, should remain in the situation they were in when God called them.
Jesus said, "The last shall be first, and the first shall be last." This is the way it is in the kingdom of Heaven. You want to talk about a purpose driven life? God has called me and each and every one of you. He has called the rich and also the poor. It is his desire the the poor shall be freed from their poverty by the gospel of Jesus Christ. It is also his desire that the ones who have richly received God's favor be slaves for for the gospel. God loves an intelligent vigorous person who strives hard to bring his word to the people. He will use him greatly so that those who have not known Jesus may know him and love him.
Daily Prayer: Father, I am so glad that we do not have to worry about being called, because all are called by you. You have many kinds of vessels for your use. Some common and some honorable. Whichever the case, let us be happy with our lot, because you so loved the world, that you gave your only son, so that whoever believes in him shall inherit eternal life. In Jesus name I pray Amen.
