Acts 20:24a However, I consider my life worth nothing to me….
Lord, Help me to place my life solely in Your hands, so that when I think of myself, it is only in terms of how I can accomplish Your will and further Your kingdom. Help me to let go of the earthly side of myself, the part of me that is wrapped up in my schemes, dreams, and plans. Empty me of myself and fill me with Your Spirit.
Acts 20:24b …my only aim is to finish the race and complete the task the Lord Jesus has given me….
Lord, I know You have a job for me. Help me to live my life so that, no matter what I am doing presently, it works to fulfill Your ultimate goal for me, which is completing the work You have given me. There is still so much of the world in me, Lord. Root that out so that there is more room for You.
Acts 20:24c …the task of testifying to the Good News of God’s grace.
Lord, Thank You for this day and for allowing me to be a partner in Your kingdom work. Thank You for all the ways I’ve gotten better at listening, drawing closer, aligning myself with You. I want Your peace in my life, Lord, the peace that surpasses all understanding. Help me to lay down my own desires so that there is more room for Your Spirit. Draw me closer. Amen.
Acts 20:32 “And now I entrust you to God and to the message of His grace that is able to build you up and give you an inheritance with all those He has set apart for Himself.”
Have a blessed day.
