Welcome to Day 29 of our Bible based, Christ focused devotional.
Purpose: With so many people suffering during these tough economic times, I wanted to create a daily devotional which would promote faith in God as a solution to overcoming anger and fear.Each devotional will provide a daily passage of Scripture for you to reflect on throughout the day. In addition, an “Action Item” will assign a daily, simple task to help you address your fears with faith and move forward with God's plans for you.
Thank you and God bless you for reading this devotional--please share it with others!

DAY 29: IT’S NOT ABOUT YOU
TODAY'S SCRIPTURE FOR REFLECTION:
For we are God's workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do. Ephesians 2:10 (New International Version)
OPENING PRAYER:
In your opening prayer, in addition to anything else you want to pray about, ask God to help you remember that it’s not about you, it about Him.

It’s Not About You
The first paragraph of an article in the sports section got my attention yesterday, “Every morning of his childhood, Trevor Grywatch's mother greeted him with the same question: What are you going to do today that's not about you, Trevor?
The story was about a University of Virginia football player who donated stem, cells to help an anonymous 60 year old man fighting cancer.
I just loved that quote as it’s something I’ll try to keep in mind each morning.
I woke up this morning with a sore throat, which I’m still nursing as I write type today’s devotional. I’m feeling so tired that I didn’t think I’d finish today’s devotional, but I just had to share this wonderful quote.

Until tomorrow, have a blessed weekend!

A TRUE RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD:
If you would like a relationship with God, the only way to do it is through His son, Jesus Christ. This is supported in the Bible: Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. --John 14:6 (King James Version)
We begin this relationship by first accepting Jesus. Click Here for a link to more info.
