Scripture
Proverbs 1:10
My son, if sinners entice you, Do not consent.
Devotional
People today are being enticed continually by sin. We see it every day. TV, billboards, video games, music, and books. We are surrounded by it every day. We need to just say NO. We can't avoid sin, but we can chose not to participate.
Action Point
Do not chose to participate in sin. Just say NO!

Scripture
1st Timothy 6:10
For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil, for which some have strayed from the faith in their greediness, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.
Devotional
Money by it self is not evil. We can use money to buy things we need, to help other people, and to build God's kingdom. It's the love of money that causes all kinds of evil. When we start to love money, our focus is turned away from other things.
Action Point
Money may come and go, but God will never leave us, nor forsake us. Which one will you choose to worship?

Scripture
Ephesians 4:1
I, therefore, the prisoner of the Lord, beseech you to walk worthy of the calling with which you were called,

O victory in Jesus, my Savior forever. He sought me, and He bought me with His redeeming blood. The victory has been won, is all you have to do is claim it.

Scripture
1st Corinthians 15:10
But by the grace of God I am what I am, and His grace toward me was not in vain; but I labored more abundantly than they all, yet not I, but the grace of God which was with me.
Devotional
We can not change our past. Paul was the chief of sinners according to 1st Timothy 1:15. Paul could not change who he was, but God did. It was because of who Paul was, and the transformation in his life, that God was able to use him in a mighty way.
Action Point
We don't have to be perfect to be used by God. Sometimes it's our imperfections that God uses. Let God use you today.

Scripture
Matthew 16:26
For what profit is it to a man if he gains the whole world, and loses his own soul? Or what will a man give in exchange for his soul?
Devotional
So many times we put our trust in things. We can trust in riches, or in idols. We trust our car to start when we turn the key, we trust our lights to go on when we flip the switch. We can trust in a lot of things, but trusting in Jesus is the only way to get to heaven.
Action Point
Are you trusting in things, or are you putting your trust in Jesus? Choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve.

Scripture
Psalm 119:105
Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path.
Devotional
We need to be led by the word of God. When we take a road trip, we use a map to find our way. In our relationship with Jesus, we need the Word of God to lead the way. We can't do it our way. Only one road leads to eternal life, and that is Jesus.
Action Point
Read the road map that God has given us.
