Devotional
When we talk about “own your life and don’t give it to chance”, we mean taking absolute charge and control of our lives. Making a conscious effort in pursuing our dreams and purpose in life. We don’t roll along with what comes along, rather we define and give direction to them as they come. We don’t live our lives on autopilot, but we intentionally engage in living in alignment with our real purpose.
Key Scripture
So be very careful how you live, not being like those with no understanding, … take full advantage of every day as you spend your life for His purposes.Eph 5:15-16 TPT
Refreshing for the Day
In life, we are faced with too many issues and challenges; however, they are some of the characteristics of life. So, we must be proactive, living consciously each day with this truth. We must be committed to our growth, build on our strengths. We must not rely on the feeling of familiarity but focus on what we must do to develop ourselves. We must not rely on the pages of what others have written about life, but we must have to learn to write our own story on the marbles of life.
And when we work on these rare truths, we’ll find ourselves becoming more conscious and more proactive in owning our life and would never surrender it again to chance. Stay Refreshed!
Note This
In life, we don’t roll along with what comes along, rather we define and give direction to it as it comes.
Responsibility
So, once again, be responsible for your life, own it, work to shape it and never abandon it to luck.
Pause in His presence
Prayer
O LORD, give me the grace to take full responsibility for my life, even as I commit it to You in prayers, in the name of Jesus’ Amen! (Go ahead and pray for other intentions as the Spirit leads)
