CONNECT 20

    Thursday

    INTRO

    We want you to CONNECT with God through His Word, Prayer, & Worship.


    Today, call out to Him in prayer. Ask Him to "open your eyes" as you read through the scripture.


    As you observe the scripture, we encourage you to take notes.


    Notice the emotions, reasons, and context. Make sure to note what God wants you to know or do after reading the scripture.

    SCRIPTURE

    If anyone's will is to do God's will, he will know whether the teaching is from God or whether I am speaking on my own authority.

    - John 7:17

    DEVOTIONAL

    Have you ever found yourself asking, 'God, what do you want me to do with my life?' It's a question that keeps many Christians awake at night, searching for some divine revelation about their purpose and calling. But what if the reason we can't see God's vision for our lives isn't because He's hiding it, but because we haven't taken the first step? Here's a truth that might surprise you: vision follows obedience, not the other way around. We often think we need to see the whole staircase before we take the first step, but God's way is different. He reveals His will to those who are already walking in surrender to what He's already shown them. Think about it this way: if you had a friend who constantly asked for advice but never followed through on what you suggested, would you keep giving them more guidance? Probably not. God works similarly. He reveals more of His will to those who are faithful with what they already know. Maybe you're waiting for a dramatic vision or calling, but God is waiting for you to obey the simple things He's already made clear. Love your neighbor. Forgive that person who hurt you. Be generous with what you have. Serve others. These aren't just nice suggestions - they're the pathway to discovering God's greater purposes for your life. The beautiful truth is that when we say 'yes' to God in the small things, He begins to reveal bigger things. Obedience doesn't earn God's love, but it does position us to receive His guidance. When we align our lives with what we already know to be true, God opens our eyes to see what comes next.

    PRAY

    Explore & examine the areas of your life that God needs to come under the truth. Take a moment to commit & surrender these areas in prayer.

    SHARE

    After, tell and share with others what God is teaching you! Try this:

    *Share your encouraging takeaways with others on your social media, or share your story with us. We want to celebrate with you!


    Memory Verse

    If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

    - 1 John 1:9
