ReThink Life: 40 Day Devotional

DAY 23 OF 40

TODAY’S THOUGHT
One of the biggest challenges we face in life is distinguishing the truth from the lies of the evil one. Just because everyone else is doing something or popular culture embraces something that is considered to be normal or acceptable doesn’t make it right or true. The only way we can really know for sure what is right or wrong in important choices we make in life is by asking ourselves the question, “what does the Bible say?” In Matthew 4:1-11, Jesus was tempted on three different occasions by Satan. However, Jesus exposed Satan’s lies all three times by saying, “It is written…” Jesus used the truth of the Bible to overcome temptation and to expose the lies from the enemy. In the same way, we must do the same in all areas of life. This is the reason it is so important to memorize scripture. The next time you’re confronted with temptation or placed in an awkward situation ask yourself “What does the Bible say?” Whatever it says, stand on the truth by saying to yourself “It is written…”

TODAY’S PRAYER
Dear Heavenly Father, thank you for becoming one of us so that you could understand us and relate to us. Thank you for giving us your Word as a source of hope, strength and wisdom. Today, I choose to stand on your Word. Grant me purity of heart so that I may honor you. 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.
