    Point to Ponder: I was shaped for serving God. 

    Verse to Remember: "God works through different men in different ways, but it is the same God who achieves his purposes through them all." 1 Corinthians 12:6 (Ph)

  • Day 29 - Accepting your Assignment

    While many best-selling books offer advice on how to `get" the most out of life, that's not the reason God made you. You were created to add to life on earth, not just take from it. God wants you to give something back.

    Point to Ponder: Service is not optional.

    Verse to Remember: "For we are God's workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do." Ephesians 2:10 (NIV)

    Question to Consider: What is holding me back from accepting God's call to serve him?

    Verse to Remember: "God began doing a good work in you, and I am sure he will continue it until it is finished when Jesus Christ comes again." Philippians 1:6 (NCV)

  • Day 26 - Growing through Temptation

    God develops the fruit of the Spirit in your life by allowing you to experience circumstances in which you're tempted to express the exact opposite quality! Character development always involves a choice, and temptation provides that opportunity. 

    Point to Ponder: Every temptation is an opportunity to do good. 

    Verse to Remember: "God blesses the people who patiently endure testing. Afterward then will receive the crown of life that God has promised to those who love him." James 1:12 (NIT)

  • Day 25 - Transformed by Trouble
    Since God intends to make you like Jesus, he will take you through the same experiences Jesus went through.

Verse to Remember: "And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose."

  • Day 24 - Transformed by Truth
    D. L. Moody said, "The Bible was not given to increase our knowledge but to change our lives." Point to Ponder: The truth transforms me.

  • Day 23 - How We Grow
    Nothing shapes your life more than the commitments you choose to make. Your commitments can develop you or they can destroy you, but either way, they will define you. Tell me what you are committed to, and I'll tell you what you will be in twenty years. We become whatever we are committed to. Point to Ponder: It is never too late to start growing. Verse to Remember: "Let God transform you inwardly by a complete change of your mind. Then you will be able to know the will of God-what is good and is pleasing to him and is perfect." Romans 12:2b (TEV) Question to Consider: What is one area where I need to stop thinking my way and start thinking God's way?

Point to Ponder: I was created to become like Christ. Verse to Remember: "As the Spirit of the Lord works within us, we become more and more like him and reflect his glory even more." 2 Corinthians 3:18b (NLT) Question to Consider: In what area of my life do I need to ask for the Spirit's power to be like Christ today?

  • Day 21 - Protecting your Church
    "Whenever I judge another believer, four things instantly happen: I lose fellowship with God, I expose my own pride and insecurity, I set myself up to be judged by God, and I harm the fellowship of the church. A critical spirit is a costly vice." - Rick Warren. Point to Ponder: It is my responsibility to protect the unity of my church. Verse to Remember: "Let us concentrate on the things which make for harmony and the growth of our fellowship together." Romans 14:19 (Ph) Question to Consider: What am I personally doing to protect unity in my church family right now?
