Get the appThe Discovery: Exploring God’s Call On Your Life Sample
Yesterday, you read excerpts from the calling stories of several disciples. Today, you’ll read Jesus’ instructions to all who answer His call.
As you read, notice the command that Jesus gives over and over again. He doesn’t assign a specific task like you might find on a to-do list. Instead, Jesus says, “Remain.”
Some Christians spend all their energy trying to bear fruit for God by sheer will through self-improvement, but that’s not the way to go about it. Want to be useful in the Kingdom of God? Remain intimate with Christ. Read your Bible. Do what it says. Pray. The fruit will come naturally as a result, but apart from Him, you can do nothing.
Respond to the following in your journal:

About this Plan
Welcome! We are so excited that you want to explore God’s unique plan for your life. Remember, ultimately, the goal of this reading plan is not to figure out what your future job might be, but to hear from God about what it means to be called, so make sure to give it your best effort! Enjoy the journey! Here are just a few tips as you jump in: • Come prepared mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. • Shut out all distractions. • Start with prayer. Keep communication between you and God open and easy by confessing any unconfessed sin, accepting His forgiveness, and asking Him to speak to your heart through Bible study. • Take your time. Read all of the verses listed, listen for God’s voice. You may want to write in a journal as you go so you can track your spiritual progress and remember what God says to you.
