The Upward Call
Day 5: The Upward Call
Reading: Colossians 3:1-4
Devotional: Paul presses toward "the upward call of God in Christ Jesus"—a call that lifts everything. This isn't a call to comfort but to higher ground. Resurrection life pulls us upward: higher perspectives, elevated desires, transformed priorities.
When Christ becomes your prize, others become your purpose. The test of genuine pursuit is simple: Is your life increasingly outward-focused? True knowledge of Christ manifests as love—for God and neighbor.
If your spiritual life remains primarily introspective and self-focused, you may have motion without movement. The upward call redirects us from self-absorption to self-giving, from maintenance to mission.
Nothing you leave behind compares to what lies ahead in knowing Christ. Every cost is worth it. Today, let God recalibrate your compass. You're not where He wants you to be—and that's good news. It means there's more. Lift your eyes. Press on. The goal is worth the pursuit.
