UNCOMMEN: 180 Degrees of Change

DAY 7 OF 7

People

We end our 180 devotion talking about a collective 180-degree turn that our world needs. As of writing this devotional, we are in the middle of a worldwide pandemic with Covid-19, and nationwide protests around four police officers who killed George Floyd in Minnesota. 

Racism is an evil that is straight out of the pit of Hell, and it's been around long before I was born, and I believe it may be around long after I'm gone. We were all made in God's image, and we should look and treat each other as such.

Galatians 3:28 —"There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is no male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus."

Acts 3:19 —"Repent, therefore, and turn back, that your sins may be blotted out."

I believe that this world is showing just how far from God it is. The way we treat God and each other narrates a self-centered culture that is prideful and lost. There were two cities that came to the point of such sin that God destroyed them both (Sodom and Gomorrah: Genesis 19:1-29). I pray that God has mercy on people, and we turn our hearts toward Him.

If you are having a conversation about how others need to change, I urge you (and I) to look in the mirror first. Each of us needs to make our own 180 toward God. Take some time to pray that God opens our eyes to our thoughts, actions, words, behavior toward people, and adjust accordingly. 

Remember, our 180 should be toward God and to be more like Jesus.

Uncommen Questions:

Do you believe you are where God wants you to be today? Or are you in need of a 180?

Is there something in your life that you need to repent?

Uncommen Challenge:

I challenge you and me to turn back toward God and repent of any sin we may have in our lives. Love people as God loves us.

Scripture Reference:
2 Chronicles 7:14

About this Plan

UNCOMMEN: 180 Degrees of Change

We are looking into the lives of some Bible characters who had to do a 180 to come back to God. We've all been there, and I want to tell you not to worry; we are in good company. I've picked seven stories to help us understand that no matter where you are in your faith, it's not too late to turn (180 Degrees) to God.
