DAY 02 | THAT WHICH WE CRAVE
centering thought
“When it comes to the story of our one and only precious life, our actions, reactions, and attitudes reveal just how often we’ve lost the plot …”
encouragement from God’s word
Read: 1 JOHN 2:17
devotional direction
Have you ever been in conversation with a friend and for one reason or another allowed your attention to drift, only to have it arrested once more by something astounding that your friend said? “Wait, what?” you then ask, desperate to regain the plot. You thought you were listening, right? Until you realized that something else had captured your thoughts.
This is how it goes not just in our relational lives, but in our spiritual lives as well. We think we’re open to the still, small whisper of God’s voice, only to realize that we’ve allowed our attention to drift to earthly distractions, to the cravings of lesser appetites.
“All the world is fading away,” the apostle John wrote, inspired by God. “All the cravings you experience for earthly things will one day pass away.” But there is indeed something that stands for all time … and for all eternity, following that. It is the one who “does what pleases God”—that person will not fade away.
The plot we must hold fast to is that God is restoring this world day by day ... and he longs for us to join him in that noble work. He is redeeming and remaking. He is transforming and envisioning. He is feeding and he is sheltering. He is providing for those he loves.
When it comes to the central story of our one and only life, we will either give ourselves over to this divine mission, or else distraction will carry us away.
question to ponder
What is distracting you just now from tracking with the story God is writing, from his redemptive mission in this world?

Based on the "The Stories We Tell: Real Women. Real Lives. Real Love" Church Edition. This twenty-eight-day devotional experience has been created for you to, in effect, think more carefully about what you’re thinking—about who you are and why you’re here and the role God longs for you to play in impacting the world around you for good. Consider carving out ten or fifteen minutes each day for twenty-eight days, during your first waking hours, perhaps, or just before you close your day and head to bed.
