Head: Know God’s Word | Heart: Love God | Hands: Follow God’s Way
Read 1 Corinthians 7
HEAD
Do you ever feel like you want to change things about yourself? When I was a little girl, I always wanted to have red, curly hair and green eyes. And I wanted to change my name. But God created me with slick, black, VERY straight hair and brown eyes. No matter what, even if I tried to dye my hair red, eventually my black hair would come back… because that’s how God made it.
HEART
Paul says in 1 Corinthians 7:17 that each person should live as a believer in whatever situation the Lord has called them to. Sometimes that means our physical appearance. Sometimes that even means the family you were born into. Maybe you don’t always like your stinky, big brother, or your annoying little sister. Let’s back up to verse 15; you will see that God also called us to live in peace.
HANDS
Being a follower of Christ isn’t always easy. Sometimes God asks us to do things that are hard, like living in peace with others or ourselves. We won’t get it right every time, but we CAN keep trying to do our best each day.
Prayer: God, help me to see myself the way You see me. Help me to live in peace with others, even when I’m frustrated with those around me, and when I’m frustrated with my own circumstances, help me to see myself the way You see me. Amen.
