Everyone loves a good story.Whether it's one being told to us by a friend or a relative, or one we watch on a screen or read in a book, a great story intrigues us, moves us, fascinates us. But all of those great stories are a small reflection of a bigger story, a story that our hearts long for. It's God's story. And that's a story that is written down in His Word and it's a story being written in our lives every day. Our choice is to be a part of it, or write our own story.
We all do it. We all make subtle choices that, left unmonitored or unchanged, can lead us to some place where we may not (or may) have intended to be. Maybe it's a lie we told. Or a relationship we are in. Or looking at something we knew we shouldn't see. And we know it's probably not the best -- we may even know it's not something God wants for us -- but we decide to go ahead and write our own story. We make the choice. We pursue the relationship. We tell the lie. And then we make another choice, and then another, and before long we end up miles away from where we ever thought we would be.
Your challenge this week is to begin each day by telling God that you want to be part of His story. Pray that you won't settle for a lesser story but be part of the story that God is writing.
