Rick Warren's Daily DevotionalSample

Focus Your Life The next ten years can be the greatest of your life. They can become a Decade of Destiny, where your life is focused and, as a result, you're able to make an impact in all you do. To get where you believe God wants you to go and be what you know God wants you to be, there are several steps you need to take that will get you focused -- First, determine your present position -- You've got to know where you are before you can know where you are going. To do that, ask yourself two questions: Where am I now? Where are you spiritually, financially, emotionally, relationally, physically, and occupationally? What would I like to change? In all of those areas you identified, what would you like to be different? God promised Abraham that he would become the father of a great nation. But in Genesis 24, we find Abraham is now an old man and his son, Isaac, still doesn't have any children yet. Abraham assessed the situation and, as a result, he sent his servant, Eliezer, to find a wife for Isaac. An important principle here is that it is never too late for you to make a change in your life, even though making the change may take longer than you think. This is why you can't procrastinate. You can either drift through the next ten years or you can have direction over the next ten years. God wants you to have direction.
