Christian Devotional – December 26, 2013

VERSE:

1 Timothy 4:10–For it is for this we labor and strive, because we have fixed our hope on the living God, who is the Savior of all men, especially of believers.

TRUTH:

Why do we work? Why do we do all the things that we strive to do throughout the day? We do these things because we have fixed our hope on God, realizing that He is the Savior of all men. If God is not our hope, if we have no hope, then our lives become pointless and void of meaning. There is no purpose for which we do the things that we do in the day. Are all our deeds pointing people toward our hope and our purpose, Jesus Christ? Are we living like we have a hope every single day? We do!!

RESPONSE:

Father, You are my hope. You are my purpose. Everything that I do, I do because You have given me that hope. As I go throughout the day, I will praise You and lift You up with everything that I do so that others may know of the hope that I have in You!
