26-JULY-2024 - TO WHOM AM I ACCOUNTABLE
TITLE:TO WHOM AM I ACCOUNTABLE?
The bible verses for today’s devotional are: i. Romans 14:12 ii. Gen 39:9 (NIV)
“So then, each of us will give an account of ourselves to God”
“No one is greater in this house than I. My Master has withheld nothing from me except you because you are his wife. How then could I do such a wicked thing and sin against God?”
Devotional:
As teenagers, you often face pressures from your peers, family, and society as Joseph did from his master’s wife. Joseph, however, did not only know himself, but he also knew he was accountable to someone greater than his earthly boss whom he respected so much.
The Bible reminds you that you are accountable to God alone. Your ultimate responsibility is to live a life that honours Him, not to please yourselves nor others. This means making choices that align with His values and principles, even when it's hard or unpopular.
Here are a few reflective questions:
- Am I living to please others or to honour God?
- Can anything or anyone lure me to forget who I am accountable to?
- What changes can I make to prioritize my accountability to God?
Let us pray:
Dear God, help me to remember that I am accountable to You alone in all situations however easy or difficult.
Thank You for being a God who loves and guides me. Amen.
Please say these words of affirmation. Say them, mean them, own them and live them:
I will always acknowledge and honour God in all I say and do.
Do have a pleasant day. Take good care of yourself and see you tomorrow.
