As we continue to explore the idea of calling, of who we are called to be and what we are called to do, we find two very different readings before us today (see 2 Samuel 6:1-5, 12b-19 and Ephesians 1:3-14). Paul is writing a letter to the church in Ephesus while King David has gone to retrieve the ark and bring it to Jerusalem. David’s story is full of action, while Paul leaves us his words. But both of these stories will help us think about what it means to be called by God.
