Well, girls, here we go! Its going to take you a full year to do these devotions, and its taken us about a full year to put them together for you. Thats an even exchange!
We set out to tackle your top concerns. The first thing we did, as a matter of fact, was send out an e-mail to one hundred college girls we know personally and ask them this question: When you were in high school, what were the top ten topics you wish someone had challenged you with? The girls were a great help to us, and we salute them!
This devotional is not set up chronologically. In other words, you can begin your journey any day of the year. To get the most out of it, we recommend you do a couple of things. First, be diligent and purposeful. Keep at it for the full year, setting aside a specific time each day to tackle your devotionalthe earlier in the day, the better. Second, be sure to work on each days action step. These will put muscle behind what your mind encounters. James 1:22 says we must not merely listen to what Gods Word says. That would be like reading each days devotion and leaving it at that. We must also do what the Word says, and that is the purpose of these action steps. If you complete them, you are fulfilling Jamess command that we are not only hearers of the Word, but doers as well.
Each month tackles a different issue you come face-to-face with as a follower of Christ. Every week or so well switch angles and get a fresh view of the topic we are tackling. Are you ready to be stretched? If youre not exhausted and exhilarated at the end of this year, then we havent done our job. But the race is up to you. Persevere. Stick with it. It will be an uphill battle at times, and you will grow weary... but run in such a way as to win this race!
On your mark. (The crowd roars.) Get set. (A hush falls.) Go!
Were running this one with you,
Dannah and Suzy
O people, the L ORD has told you what is good, and this is what he requires of you: to do what is right, to love mercy, and to walk humbly with your God.
MICAH 6:8
Its a brand-new year.
Clean slate.
Lets see if we can start the year by figuring out what God wants.
Are you supposed to date that boy? Get a job? Go on that missions trip this summer? Think of something you really want to do, and lets filter it through the Word of God.
The good news is that God keeps things pretty simple for us. We tend to complicate things as human beings, thinking we need to know exactly what God wants us to do.
God is our Father. He loves us, so he keeps it simple. What does he want from us? Its right there in the Bible verse at the top of the page. Choose what you will, but follow these three precepts from Micah 6. If anything you want to choose violates even one of those three commands, then you are outside of Gods will. Simple.
- Do what is right. Do only what is good for everyone. We are not to harm others, be it emotionally, physically, or even while joking. So whatever you might choose, be certain that no one is harmed.
- Love mercy. Since you have been forgiven a great deal, you should show the same measure of forgiveness to others. Thats what mercy is: showing compassion or kindness even when the other person doesnt deserve it.
- Walk humbly with your God. This means we understand Gods plan is better than ours. He is God, and we are not, so he gets the final say in all matters. Dating a nonbeliever? Not debatable. Dressing immodestly? Not an option. Being part of a church? Its essentialno ifs, ands, or buts. To not follow Gods precepts is to vainly challenge his lordship.
So, that question you had about what to do. Whats the answer?
Use Micah 6:8 to make all your decisions this year. Memorize the verse, and invite God to bring it to your mind often.
Pure and genuine religion in the sight of God the Father means caring for orphans and widows in their distress and refusing to let the world corrupt you.
JAMES 1:27
Today, I (Dannah) noticed someone.
She was a sweet older lady sitting on a park bench, and for some reason God drew me to her like a magnet. I didnt know why, but I was supposed to make a beeline for her.
I did.
After awkwardly talking about our nails, I told her I thought God wanted me to encourage her with hope. She began to weep. She was, in fact, a believer in Jesus but was really discouraged. She had just been asking him if he saw her.
He did. And I got to tell her so.
How often do I walk by people in need and ignore them? How often do you?
Our verse for today is Gods simple instructions. He tells us what true religion looks like (the word the writer James uses for religion refers to the outward practice of religion observable to othershow we act). Again God keeps things simple for us. Through James, God is saying, I want you to take care of the downtrodden, and I want you to avoid the pitfalls of this world. Thats what it looks like to love me and to follow me. Its no easy thing to meet the needs of other people. People have a lot of needs! Would we even have any time for a job or sports or to get our homework done if we were constantly dropping everything for someone in need? Probably not. But we can keep our eyes and hearts open to find the person (or people) God wants each of us specifically to help. God has a way of showing us when we ask him to!
