What to Do When You Don't Know What to Doಮಾದರಿ

Stop and think for a minute. What are you pursuing or going after right now? Getting a driver’s license? A spot on the basketball team? An acceptance letter to your favorite college? These are all important, but they can become a problem when we make getting the things we are going after a way of determining our worth. If you get a "no" from the college you're trying to get into, or don’t make the team, does that mean you’re worth any less? Absolutely not. 

Paul wrote this letter to his young friend, Timothy, and it reminds us of what we should be pursuing in all things. It’s less about accomplishing something and more about becoming someone—specifically becoming more like Jesus. Today, pray that in your pursuits, you don't lose sight of what matters. Instead of focusing on an end result, set your attention on who you can be and how you can live because of God’s Spirit in you.
