Shine Like Stars: Devotions From Time of GraceSample

An Attitude That Shines

One of the busiest and most beloved tourist sites in Los Angeles is the Walk of Fame on Hollywood Boulevard. There are more than two thousand pink terrazzo stars commemorating famous entertainers with their names in elegant brass letters. That sidewalk represents the people who most Americans aspire to be like--these are our heroes, our superstars.

Did you know that God is assembling his own "walk of stars"? Did you know that he wants your name on it? Did you know that you too can grow into this role?

God tells you in Philippians 2:14-16, "Do everything without complaining or arguing, so that you may become blameless and pure, children of God without fault in a crooked and depraved generation, in which you shine like stars in the universe as you hold out the word of life."

Do you feel as though you have a long way to go before anyone calls you a spiritual superstar? I'd like to ask your permission to tell you some stories from God's Word to help you fulfill your destiny, the purpose for which God has placed you on this earth--to shine for him. Ready? Let's go.
