Our Daily Refill
The Divine Mentor
As a staff at Lighthouse we are reading through Wayne Cordeiro’s Book The Divine Mentor. This morning we had a discussion about the importance of daily devotions in the life of every believer. Daily devotions are our opportunity to daily glean from God’s wisdom and actually apply those things to our lives. Many believers fail to understand how important this is to their faith, and simply read the bible, and walk away unchanged.
For if anyone is a hearer of the word and not a doer, he is like a man who looks intently at his natural face in a mirror. For he looks at himself and goes away and at once forgets what he was like. But the one who looks into the perfect law, the law of liberty, and perseveres, being no hearer who forgets but a doer who acts, he will be blessed in his doing.
-James 1:23-25 (ESV)
We likened the personal & daily study of God’s word to eating. None of us would go a week without eating a good meal, but some of us spiritually nourish ourselves only once per week. As Christ followers, as the light of the world, we must constantly return to the fountainhead of life, that source that fuels, ignites, guides, sustains and empowers us for life: God’s word. We cannot afford to be spiritually malnourished.
One of my favorite quotes we discussed from the book this morning is this: “Everyday of my life, I want to do everything I can to draw God’s thoughts from the Scriptures’ ink and paper and imprint them on my soul.”
What are you doing to imprint God’s thoughts and words onto your soul today?
As a staff, today we are reading and journaling on: 1Corinthians 5:9-6:20, Psalm 102-103:22. Join in.
