A LIFE BEYOND OUR DESIRES (2)

TIMES OF REFRESHING DAILY DEVOTIONAL www.thefountspring.org

DATE: SUNDAY, 22 SEPTEMBER 2024

A life beyond our desires is living for something greater than ourselves. It means living a life that is a testimony to the power of Christ within us. Our purpose is now rooted in leading others to God. The way we live, the choices we make, and the love we show become a light to those around us.

SCRIPTURE: “Let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.” — Matthew 5:16

REFRESHING FOR THE DAY: This shift in focus brings true meaning to our lives. We are not aimlessly wandering through life but are intentional in our actions, knowing that our lives point others toward the truth of the Gospel. When people see the way Christ transforms us, they are drawn to the One who gives our lives purpose and direction. Stay Refreshed!

NOTE THIS: Living for something greater than ourselves means living a life that is a testimony to the power of Christ within us.

RESPONSIBILITY: So, beloved, in what ways can your life be a light to others? How can you intentionally lead people to Christ through your actions and words today?

PRAYER: Dear Heavenly Father, I want my life to shine for You. Help me to live with purpose and meaning, always pointing others to Your love and truth. Let my life be a testimony of Your grace and power. In Jesus’ name, I pray, Amen.

PROPHETIC WORD: May God be gracious to us and cause our life to shine for Him and help us to live with purpose and meaning. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

BIBLE TEXTS: Matthew 5:16
