Shift Into Legacy: A 5-Day Devotional to Launch You Into a Life of PurposeSample

Day 1: Discovering Your Legacy Call
Scripture Focus: Jeremiah 29:11, Proverbs 3:5-6

On the first day of your devotional journey, we begin with a fundamental truth: You are not here by accident. Your life has a purpose. Reflecting on my journey in Shift Into Legacy, I realize that discovering my unique calling was not an overnight revelation. It came after years of navigating doubt, fear, and confusion about the path I was supposed to take. I spent many sleepless nights praying, asking God to make His plan for me clear.

I remember a defining moment when I realized that my experiences—both the triumphs and the trials—were not random. They were part of God's larger story for me. I had to come to terms with the fact that I wasn't simply meant to go through life aimlessly; I was created to have a lasting impact on families and individuals, to help them build legacies of their own. This realization didn’t come easily, but through a series of quiet moments, seeking God's voice, and allowing His Word to guide me.

As you begin your journey of discovering your legacy call, remember that you, too, are uniquely designed for a purpose. Like the prophet Jeremiah, God knows the plans He has for you (Jeremiah 29:11). It might not be easy to see immediately, but trust that He is guiding you in the right direction. You may be feeling uncertain or questioning your next steps, just as I did, but Proverbs 3:5-6 reassures us that as we trust in Him with all our heart, He will make our paths straight.

Today, reflect on what excites you, what stirs your soul, and what God has been whispering about your unique assignment. Don't be afraid to seek out the quiet spaces where you can hear His voice and begin to chart the path that He has laid out just for you.

Prayer:
Heavenly Father, thank You for the purpose You have placed in my life. Help me to recognize Your calling, and give me the courage to pursue it. As I step into this journey, guide me with Your wisdom and clarity. In Jesus' name, Amen.

Reflection:

• What are the passions or experiences in your life that have shaped your calling?
• How can you begin today to align your life with God's purpose for you?

Action:
Take a moment today to journal about your unique calling and the legacy you want to create. Reflect on what God has already shown you and ask Him for further clarity.
