Day 12 - Wake up and recover your life!
Scripture focus: So come on, let's leave the preschool fingerpainting exercises on Christ and get on with the grand work of art. Grow up in Christ. The basic foundational truths are in place: turning your back on "salvation by self-help" and turning in trust toward God; baptismal instructions; laying on of hands; resurrection of the dead; eternal judgment. God helping us, we'll stay true to all that. But there's so much more. Let's get on with it! Hebrews 6:1-3 (The Message)
Neither Daniel, Esther, nor any of us for that matter, choose the context from which our lives begin.
We do, however, get to choose the content and destination of the journey.
With God helping her, Esther learned how to work the system. She was teachable, adaptable, disciplined and prepared. She was resourceful, ingenious, creative and imaginative. It took great imagination to believe that God could use her – a concubine, a prostitute.
Who would have guessed that she would become Queen and eventually use her position to change the world?
You were created to be a grand work of art, growing up in Christ.
Preschoolers may dabble with their paints, but trusters of God get on with the business of becoming their true God-created identity. What's holding you back?
