Being My Best For God

DAY 1 OF 7

The Most Important Thing

Knowing God and finding out how He wants me to live is the most important thing in life. Because God is God, being my best to please Him is what life is all about. I may want to please my friends, my teachers, or my parents, and that’s okay. I just don’t want to worry more about what others think of me than what my heavenly Father thinks.

He is the most important. If I want to be my best for God, I will not always demand what I want when I want it. He will give me the patience to wait for His perfect will and timing. And if I will learn to be patient, He will put His desires in my heart. That means He’ll help me want what He wants for me. Then it will be easy to please Him. I’ll want what He wants, and He’ll give me the patience to wait for His best.

PRAYER

God, I’m not really sure I know what “knowing You” means. It would be so much easier if You were right here in front of me. Help me learn what being my best to please You really means. I want to know You, God. Amen.

Being My Best For God

"Being My Best for God" was inspired by My Utmost for His Highest, Oswald Chambers' classic Christian devotional. In a language children will understand, each daily reading in this plan contains a scripture along with a brief meditation that reflects the profound truths in Chambers' original work.
