Main Scripture:
Acts 3:19 (NLT) 19 Now repent of your sins and turn to God, so that your sins may be wiped away.
Now, let's take a moment to reflect on what this scripture means for us today. In a world that's obsessed with success, it's easy to get caught up in the pursuit of material possessions and achievements. However, we need to remember that success alone cannot guarantee a fulfilling life. We need something more than just worldly success to feel truly content and happy.
That's where our relationship with God comes in. By turning towards Him, seeking His guidance, and trusting His plan, we can find the peace and joy that we've been searching for. When we repent and turn towards God, our sins are forgiven, and our souls are refreshed in His presence. We don't have to worry about how everything will work out for our good because we know that God is in control.
But how do we turn towards God and seek His guidance? It starts with making Him a priority in our lives. We need to set aside time each day to read the Bible, pray, and seek His direction. When we do this, we open ourselves up to His plan for our lives, and we can trust that He will guide us in the right direction.
It's also essential to remember that our relationship with God is not just about what He can do for us. We need to seek His face, not just His hand. We need to focus on building a relationship with Him and not just asking Him for things. When we do this, we will find that our relationship with God becomes more meaningful and fulfilling.
So, let's make a commitment today to turn towards God, seek His guidance, and trust His plan for our lives. Let's focus on building a relationship with Him and not just pursuing worldly success. Remember that God is good, and we can always trust His words and His guidance.
Prayer:
Heavenly Father, we thank you for your love and guidance. Help us to turn towards you, seek your face, and trust your plan for our lives. We pray that you will forgive our sins and refresh our souls in your presence. Help us to focus on building a relationship with you and not just pursuing worldly success. In Jesus' name, Amen.
