CAC DAILY DEVOTIONAL GUIDE 📚
(THE LIVING WATER)
DATE: Thursday, 19th April, 2018
TOPIC: STRAIGHT LINE
📖 READ: 1 Samuel 16:6-12
MEMORISE: Brethren, I do not count myself to have apprehended; but one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind and reaching forward to those things which are ahead. (Philippians 3:13)
EXPOSITION:
Have you ever attempted to walk in a straight line while looking at your feet? Try this on the beach, sometime, so you can look back at your footprints. You will probably be surprised at how crooked the path is. But fix your eyes upon something far away, and each step will point in the desired direction-toward that distant focal point.
Our lives are like this. If we set goals, then our decisions and thought will lead toward the desired end. On the other hand, if we bumble along, without specific aims, we will wander and waste much precious resources. Take a look at Luke 9:62: But Jesus said to him, “No one, having out his hand to the plow, and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God.”
Goals are crucial to the well-lived life. Why, then, do so many people fail to formulate purposeful aims? Some simply do not see the need for planning, while others are too lazy to devise one, or do not know how to go about it. Then there are those who lack faith in God’s ability to help them achieve their aspirations.
Think about the many goals Jesus had, that drove all that He did. His daily aims involved such things as serving others and teaching those who sought righteousness. But more than that, our Saviour centred everything on a primary purpose set even before time began: to lay down His life on the cross in order to save mankind from sin and glorify the Father.
We were created to glorify the Lord and be fruitful in His service. Imagine the impact our lives could have, if we asked God to guide our goals. As you are stepping out today, what do You want to change about your life? What do You want to accomplish through your struggle? You must be determined to achieve your goal.
PRAYER POINTS:
Lord, grant me, today, the grace to remain focused in all my endeavours in life.
Lord, let my decisions and thoughts be in line with Your will, so that they can lead me towards my desired end.
Holy Spirit, touch and transform every wayward youth in our land for Your glory.
EXTRA READING FOR TODAY: Judges 14 - 16 & Acts 21
