People, Places, and Things

Setting our hearts and minds on things above

The moment we put our faith in Christ, everything changes — both inwardly and outwardly! Jeremiah 29, says that God has plans for each of us, plans for hope and a future. Each day we struggle to say “no” to the temptations of our old ways of life. It can be hard to set our hearts and minds on a new way of living. Japhia Life shares how God guided and refocused his perspective on people, places, and things.

There is not an area or detail in our life that God will not be willing to help out with – no matter how small or trivial we think it may be. Ask God to show you His path for you in relation to specific people, places, and things in your life. Then look at that path, with all its hardships and joys, and decide to follow in a way that pleases our Heavenly Father.

Application Question:

• Japhia says "Once you make a decision to follow God, it's like a domino effect because He'll put people in your life to help guide you and walk you to the next step." Who are the people in your life that guide you? Could you be that person to someone today?
