16-AUGUST-2024 - CHARTING MY COURSE AND PATH
MAIN THEME IS: WHY AM I HERE?
TITLE: CHARTING MY COURSE AND PATH
The bible verse for today’s devotional is: JOSHUA 24:15 (NIV)
”But if serving the Lord seems undesirable to you, then choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve, whether the gods your ancestors served beyond the Euphrates, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land you are living. But as for me and my household, we will serve the Lord”
Devotional:
A sailor’s responsibility is to navigate his ship from one point to another. His fundamental tool is the chart, which is a representation of the earth’s surface with notations that help him carry out this task. With the help of a chart, he can establish the course that will bring his ship to its destination.
As faith based people, the navigational chart for our journey in life is the word of God. The word of God contains the facts, rules, routines, boundaries, template, guidelines, and roadmap we need in order to establish the right course for our life. It is our spiritual compass showing us how to live and walk uprightly.
Charting one's course and path in life is never done on a group WhatsApp call, it is a personal decision either to walk with God or to walk according to the dictates of the world.
Here are a few reflective questions:
- Family: what does family mean to you, what roles and responsibilities are expected of you?
- Friendship/relationships; how do you choose your friends? Do they have the same values as you?
- Your spirituality: How is your relationship with God? Are you proud or ashamed of the gospel of Christ?
- Career/Education: Do you know what you want to become? Do you believe in the path taking you there? Do you believe in hard work, patience and resilience or do you believe in cutting corners?
Chart your course wisely today and always.
Let us pray:
Show me your ways, Lord, teach me your paths, Amen
Please say these words of affirmation. Say them, mean them, own them and live them
- I am here because I am on a journey to my destination.
- I will not allow distractions (mention them)
Do have an amazing day. Take good care of yourself, I’ll see you tomorrow.
