LUKA 8:24

Vance K. Jackson leads readers in this powerful heart transforming devotional. When you focus more on your enemies, than you do God, you begin to worship and magnify the offense instead of worshipping God. When you focus on your enemy, you begin to confess, repeat and rehearse what they’ve done to you. Worship God and not your enemy. What has your heart entangled? Let God lead your heart.

As we go through life there are many voices that can influence our behavior, thoughts, and even the direction we take. Among those voices speaking to us is God, the devil, people, our families, and our own thoughts. The words you listen to begin to shape who you are and the decisions you make. More than any other distraction God wants to connect with us through our communication with Him.

This plan begins with a prayer: "Heavenly Father, so many of your daughters are struggling. They want more of you and ache for your light to shine—in their marriages and their hearts. Help us trust and seek you with our whole hearts." Read along and invite Holy Spirit to tend to your heart as He reminds you there is more for you—more beauty, more peace, more light.

How can we show love to others in our sport? We express supportive and obedient kinds of love to our teammates, athletes and children. But, as we compete, it’s vital to remember the love we see in John 3:16, demonstrated in the New Testament, for without it, our relationships, our sports and our lives would be meaningless. Dive into this plan today to remember our highest purpose for competing.
