Even If

DAY 25 OF 28

What consumes your thoughts? Is it the stress of homework? The pressure of figuring out how to connect with your crush? The replay of what you didn’t do in your last game? Our thoughts are loud and they take up a lot more time than we typically realize. So, what would it look like for you to set your thoughts on “the things of heaven?” This doesn’t mean you have to constantly think about only spiritual things. However, it does mean that you bring spiritual perspective into your ordinary thoughts. Maybe you think about what it would look like to treat your crush like God says is best. Maybe you think about the way you use your influence on the field to point your friends to Jesus. Maybe you think about why you’re doing homework, not just for yourself, but out of respect for the leaders (teachers) in your life. This might not sound normal, but with the amount of time you spend thinking, this could change everything.

Today, write down a few of the most consistent thoughts you’ve had lately, and then write out a possible way that God might be aligning your thoughts with a Godly way of thinking.

About this Plan

Even If

Life is full of change. Whether it be good like making the team, bad like parent’s divorce, or complicated like switching schools. Change can make us ask “Am I strong enough to face this?” or “Why do I have to go through this?” These devotionals will challenge you to rethink how you view change, and we’ll explore how God’s commitment to us doesn’t change, even if everything else does.
