MAIN THEME IS: WHY AM I HERE?

TITLE: BUILDING A LIFE THAT MATTERS

The bible verse for today’s devotional is: 1 Corinthians 3:8-9 (NIV) 

The one who plants and the one who waters have one purpose, and they will each be rewarded according to their own labor. For we are co-workers in God’s service; you are God’s field, God’s building.

Devotional:

Everyone wants the best medals for making the world a better place. More often than not, we imagine that we would have to do some extraordinary feat to achieve this. It is safe to say, this is not exactly true. The world is your space; the world is that next person right beside you. We all have our parts to play, and these add up to the bigger picture.

Let us examine some people in the bible. There was Simeon in Luke 2:25-32 whose role was to identify Jesus, as savior, when his parents brought him to the temple to be ‘dedicated’. There was Anna (also in Luke chapter 2) who lived in the temple fasting and praying for decades to prophesy about Jesus.. Looking through the bible (or even the history books of contemporary people), several people served specific purposes- some great (by the world’s standard) and others, not so great- such as the servant girl who told her mistress to inform her husband (Naaman) of the prophet Elisha who could cure his leprosy (2 Kings 5:3).

The point is this; we are all world changers in our rights. We may not be on the world stage, nor have millions of likes/followers on social media, but we all matter, and our unique contributions still add up to change the world. Be encouraged to play your part and bloom wherever you are and to whoever God brings your way.

Here are a few reflective questions:

• What is one thing I can do today to contribute to the wellbeing of others around me?
• How can I keep myself motivated daily to serve in this capacity?

Let us pray:

Dear God, thank you for calling us to a life of service. Help me identify in my own space what I can do to change the world. 

Please say these words of affirmation. Say them, mean them, own them and live them

• I am here because I am a savior!
• I am a world changer!!
• I will be at my best; I will do my best for God’s glory!!!

Do have a fulfilling day. Take good care of yourself and see you tomorrow
