A Daily Devotional

by Pastor Ken Schroeder

Daily Devotional for Friday, February 3, 2012

YOU’LL HAVE A CHANGE OF HEART, WHEN YOU DO WHAT GOD SAYS

Bear fruit in keeping with repentance (Matthew 3:8).

Do what you have been taught. Quit talking about it. Start living it. When we act, we think. That’s when the change happens.

Over the past several days, I took us through several points to get us to this point. We have to go through some pain to wake us up to the fact that we have to change. We have to believe that God wants what is best so that we will listen to Him. We have to get some truth in our lives in order to want to do the truth. Do you know the amazing thing? Sometimes all those three things can be in place in our lives and we still don’t act. We have the pain. We believe God wants what’s best. We know the truth but we never get over the top of the hill and act on what we know. We keep getting to the top of that hill again and again and again but we never act on it.

What’s the “one thing” that God has put on your heart and mind to do? You cannot do everything at once. So consider the “one thing” that He wants you to do today? All that God asks us to do is the next thing, the one thing that He asks us to do next.

I don’t know what it is for you. That one thing may be. . .

To confess your sin to another person or that one thing could be for you forgive another person or for you to ask forgiveness from another person
To stop trying to control my circumstances
To stop a bad habit or to start a good habit
To stop trying to control your kids’ lives (After all they have moved out of the home and they’re married and have three kids. As long as you try to control their lives, it’s keeping you from following God’s plan because you’ve made trying to control their lives your primary concern.)

That one thing may be. . .

To confess to a friend about your struggle with pornography on the Internet (Don’t tell me that you can handle it on your own. If you could, you would have!)
To confess to someone who will hold you accountable because you have been flirting with somebody else at the office

As long as you hold it a secret in your heart, it’s going to get worse and worse.

More Monday.

Because of Jesus,

Ken Schroeder

Why not be faithful to God and have a plan to seek Him daily through prayer, and devotionals such as this one? Seek Him first and He will bless you. Plan this as a routine part of your day, it's a good idea to share your thoughts and insights with a partner if possible after you both read the daily devotional. I once heard a man thank Pastor Ken for the work he puts into the devotional because it was the topic of conversation every night at the dinner table for his family.
