Ctrl+Alt+Delete  DAILY DEVOTION

When I was elected president of Concordia Seminary, my cousin John told me to select goals for my tenure. “How can I do that? I don’t really know the job.” “Just do it,” John said. I did and it’s guided me all the years since.

What are your priorities as a follower of Jesus in this season of your life?  If you’re talking with someone on an elevator, can you tell them in a few sentences the specifics of why and how you’re following Jesus?  What’s your “elevator speech,” your mission statement in this season of your heavenward way?

Jesus said, “‘Love the Lord your God with all your passion and prayer and intelligence.’ This is the most important, the first on any list. But there is a second to set alongside it: ‘Love others as well as you love yourself.’ These two commands are pegs; everything in God’s Law and the Prophets hangs from them.”

~Matthew 22:37-40 (The Message)

“Know thyself” was an ancient Greek proverb.  How are the two great commands being prioritized in the present season of your life?  Is it time to reboot your purpose?

Spirit of God, teach me to number my days that I may gain a heart of wisdom.
Amen.
~Psalm 90:12
