Whose Life Is It Anyway? – Saturday

Week 2 | Been There

Listen instead of reading

Take a Moment

Ask God what He wants to show you before reading today

Read The Daily

And you should imitate me, just as I imitate Christ. (1 Corinthians 11:1)

Paul’s life was marked by pain, loss, abuse, and abandonment. But one of the hallmarks of this gritty and resilient leader is that he didn’t view his life as his own. His legacy was to live his life as an offering unto God. Paul encourages you to do the same (see verse above). Evaluate where you are investing your life and what you are giving it to. Will it have eternal significance in the lives you impact? The decisions we make today affect our tomorrow. Paul’s life was comprised of a string of decisions to trust God. There will always be circumstances out of your control, but your responsibility is to continue making good decisions despite that. When you tell others of where God has met you, provided for you, loved you, and enabled you to get back up, it teaches them to do the same. If you don’t necessarily feel like a conquering warrior today, it’s okay! You know what I discovered? When we are around people who feel like conquerors, it strengthens our faith because faith is contagious.

As a Family of Servants on Mission and children of the Most High King, our identity is clear. But sometimes our callings aren’t. No matter what confusion or lack of clarity you may be facing, don’t stop forging forward. Put one foot in front of the other, and repeat this daily. A conqueror will never win if a conqueror never fights. You have to be willing to get back up and fight your next fight, to wage war on the lies of the Enemy, and to step into your calling like you are stepping foot into your promised land. Paul makes sure we know that nothing can come against us that we can’t face in God’s strength.

Prayer for the Day

God what are you  showing me?  What am I going to do about it? 

God help me to see one person that I can serve through a kind word, random act of kindness, or simple gift today?
