For God called you to do good, even if it means suffering, just as Christ suffered for you. He is your example, and you must follow in his steps. He never sinned, nor ever deceived anyone. ~ 1 Peter 2:21-22 (NLT)
KEY IDEA:
We need to keep the goal of doing good in sight -- no matter what happens.PRAYER:
Lord,
THANKS: I'm grateful for the way that you are good and have done so much that is good for me.
REGRETS: I don't always value good as the purpose. I sometimes see it as a means to get what I really want.
INTERCESSION: I need your help in rearranging my priorities. Help me to see the bigger picture and how good fits in.
PURPOSE: I'm going to live up to my calling -- no matter what happens.
Amen.
