ReThink Life: 40 Day Devotional

DAY 17 OF 40

TODAY’S THOUGHT
It is awesome to know that God’s purpose and plan for us is to give us a rich and satisfying life! In our culture we become so easily distracted and drawn away by the hundreds of good options out there for us. We can quickly become drained by our fast paced, overcrowded lives. But that is not God’s plan for us. He created us for so much more.

It is sometimes hard to stay focused on what God has purposed and planned for our lives and for those we lead. Today as you make choices ask yourself “is this just a good thing for me to do or is it the best thing for me?” And ask yourself, ”Is this going to drain me or is this decision going to bring out the best in me so that I can be blessed and in return be a blessing to those around me?” God is ready to give us wisdom if we just take the time to ask!

TODAY’S PRAYER
Father, Today I thank you that your greatest desire for me as your child is to have a rich, satisfying and abundant life. I pray that you will give me the wisdom to know how to say “no” to the good things that come my way so that I can say “yes” to the best things that you have for me. I pray for your wisdom that is beyond human understanding to help me make these choices that will ultimately bring out the best in me as well as bring out the best in those around me for your glory and honor! In Jesus’ name, Amen.

About this Plan

ReThink Life: 40 Day Devotional

Most people approach life based on what popular culture says is normal, but when we approach life from God's perspective it changes everything. This 40-Day ReThink Life Experiment is based upon Rodney and Michelle Gage’s new book called ReThink Life. This experiment will challenge you to “rethink” seven of the most important areas of life. Each day focuses on a verse of scripture, key thought, and prayer for the day.
