John 15:16 (NKJV)
"You did not choose Me, but I chose you and appointed you that you should go and bear fruit, and that your fruit should remain, that whatever you ask the Father in My name He may give you" 

Without question, one of the greatest blessings and comfort in your life is to know that you have been called. Paul knew that he was called to be a preacher, apostle, and teacher. The knowledge of this call, the knowledge of the will of God for his life, kept Him in his most challenging times.

In times of pressure, you’re still called. If you’ve messed up, or you are at a low point in your life, you know what my brother–you’re still called. The Father will not withdraw your calling or gifts, nor will He change His mind or His expected end for your life. Since you are still called, you are graced, anointed, and favored.

Whatever the will of the Father is for you, stay the course, trusting in His promises. Whatever you may be going through, as Paul always walked in, stand in the face of your challenge and say, He still called me.

Prayer: Father, I give You all the praise and glory today. Thank You for still calling me. Allow the knowledge of Your calling to keep me and encourage me right now. Since I am called, I win, and I thank You. Lead me by Your Spirit. I will press on through Jesus Christ, trusting in Your promises! In Jesus’ name, Amen.
