August 7, 2019 Rick Warren Daily Hope Devotional : Topic - Stay Focused on God’s Plan for Your Life

- , ,
--> Note :- Are you born again? You are never going to win the battle against the devil if you are not born again. I plead with you to give your life to Jesus today because the longer you stay in sin and remain unsaved, the more hardened your nature becomes against the purpose and the way God wants you to be for His purpose. To give your life to Jesus now, say this prayer: “Father, I come to You in the name of Jesus. I know that I am a sinner and I cannot save myself but Jesus died for me and shed His blood that I might be saved. Today, I accept Jesus as my Lord and Saviour. Jesus, I ask You to come into my heart, be my Lord, wash me with Your blood and make me whole. I believe with my heart and confess with my mouth that Jesus is my Lord. Thank You for saving me. In Jesus' name I pray. Amen.” I congratulate you and welcome you to the family of God if you have sincerely said that prayer. Now you are fit to discover, know and walk in your destiny.

August 7, 2019 Rick Warren Daily Hope Devotional : Topic - Stay Focused on God’s Plan for Your Life

“Jesus told him, ‘Anyone who lets himself be distracted from the work I plan for him is not fit for the Kingdom of God’” (Luke 9:62 TLB).

God has an amazing life planned for you, but Jesus made it clear that you need to stay focused.
The Devil is committed to keeping you “out of the game.” He doesn’t want you doing Kingdom work. Keeping you distracted is one of the methods he uses to make you ineffective.
Would you agree that distractions abound in our world today?
Take people pleasing, for example. When we are distracted by pleasing others, their plans become more important than God’s plans. We become consumed by thinking about what others want and expect from us rather than discovering God’s will.
Your hobbies can become a distraction when they become an obsession. There’s nothing wrong with having a hobby—unless it becomes a top priority in your heart. Some things aren’t necessarily bad; they just aren’t good. “‘Everything is permissible,’ but not everything is helpful” (1 Corinthians 10:23 HCSB). If a hobby or a habit isn’t helpful, it’s probably a distraction. For your life, do you want what’s good or what’s best?
Getting caught up in the past could be a distraction in a couple of different ways. You might get stuck by reminiscing over the “good ol’ days,” ignoring your God-given opportunities in the present. On the other hand, you might be overburdened with regret and unable to move forward. In any event, the past is a prison when it keeps you from focusing on God’s work for today.
Pleasing others, obsessing over hobbies, and being stuck in the past certainly aren’t the only things that can be distractions. Take a moment to ask yourself what the most important things in your life are. Right them down so you can remember them and ask God to help you remain focused on what is most important.
Talk It Over

  • Think of some of the good things that you’ve put first in your life. How have they distracted you from the most important things and from God’s mission for you?
  • Why are we so easily distracted by seemingly good things that are not God’s best for us?
  • Where in your life have you seen the greatest benefit from staying focused on what matters most?
