THE MAIN THEME: WHEN DO I GET THERE?
TITLE: HOW TO CHOOSE MENTORS
The bible verse for today’s devotional is: Proverbs 13:20 (NIV)
"Walk with the wise and become wise, for a companion of fools suffers harm."
Devotional
Choosing the right mentor is essential. A good mentor should be someone who loves God, lives out their faith, and genuinely cares about your growth. They should encourage you to trust God, develop your character, and make wise decisions. The right mentor will walk beside you, supporting your journey with both love and truth.
Qualities of a Good Mentor:
- They are spiritually mature and humble.
- They are competent at what they do, else they won't be able to give what they don't have or have not experienced..
- They lead by example and practise what they teach.
- They show patience and empathy.
- They challenge you to become better.
You can see we did not say ‘rich’
Here are a few reflective questions:
- Who do I admire and respect?
- What qualities would I look for in a mentor?
- How would having a good mentor impact my journey?
Let us pray
Lord, help me to find mentors who can guide me closer to You. Give me wisdom in choosing those who can help me grow spiritually, emotionally, and practically. Amen!
Please say these words of affirmation. Say them, mean them, own them and live them:
- God knows when I will get there
- I will choose wisely
- I will make informed choices
- My mentor is wise
Do have a blast today seeking your mentor. I’ll see you tomorrow
