Stay on track
You must be very careful not to forget the things you have seen God do for you. ~ Deuteronomy 4:9 (CEV)
Continue strong in your faith so no one will take away your crown. ~ Revelation 3:11 (NCV)
KEY IDEA:
Don't get sidetracked from your faith.
PRAYER:
Generous God, you have done so much for me that I have a hard time remembering it all. I quickly forget and become engaged in lesser matters. They aren't necessarily bad things but they distract me from running hard in the race you've picked for me. Keep cheering me on so that I am motivated to stay on track. Amen.
