Devotional-You Version-Saturday, February 8th, 2025

MADE TO THRIVE

Do you remember what God has saved you from and what He's brought you through? How He's given you a fresh start, a confident hope, and future beyond the here and now?

Because of God's amazing grace, we have been empowered to live boldly for Him.

In Paul's letter to his friend, coworker, and traveling companion, Titus, he says this:

"For the grace of God has appeared, bringing salvation for all people, training us to renounce ungodliness and worldly passions, and to live self-controlled, upright, and godly lives in the present age..." Titus 2:11-12 ESV

God created a world where life could thrive, where His creations could be fruitful, where His people could reign on His behalf, and where His glory could be obvious to everyone.

God, thank You for always being there! I can't run away or do anything to escape Your presence. Your love is light, Your strength is supportive, and Your guidance is good. Even when I mess up time and time again, You remain the same. Thank You Jesus, Amen.

God, there are so many things in my life that need my attention. Help me to remember that You are the most important, and not to be distracted by other things. Help me to value Your opinion of my life, and to live in a way that honors You. In Jesus' Name, Amen.
