Change Your World – Day 26

Read Nehemiah 7:61-73 If your like me, when you begin reading through genealogies in the bible, your eyes start to glaze over. For most of us, it’s a big enough struggle to even read the Bible…let alone something seemingly as insignificant as who Gazzam’s daddy was. But, for the Jewish people, their genealogy was incredibly important. It was vital to them to be able to show that they were in fact descended from Abraham and were actually Jewish people. It was important to them because they wanted to be able to prove that they were a part of God’s people. The most important thing for us today as followers of Jesus is to live our lives in such a way that shows others that we are followers of Jesus. Luckily, we no longer have to use ancestry.com to prove that we are part of God’s people. The best way for us to show who we are is by being a part of the things that God is doing in the world around us Action Step: Get out a piece of paper and a pen or a notes app on your phone or computer. Make a quick list of all the things God is doing around you big and small. Make the list up of everything from things at C3, things in your family, at work, with friends, in the community or world, etc. Also include things where there’s a huge opportunity for God to do great things. Think through how you are already involved in these things and how you can play an even bigger part. Today’s Prayer: Pray through the items on your list that 1) God will continue or begin to work in those situations and 2) asking God to show you how you can get involved in those areas where He’s working. —————————————————————————– Go to www.AroundC3.com/52days for more information about C3’s Change Your World in 52 Days Series and challenge.]]>
