5 Day Devotional: Colossians 3: 4 - 17
Day 1: The Most Important Decision
Devotional: We make countless decisions every day, from what to eat for breakfast to how to respond to a challenging situation at work. However, the most important decision we will ever make is the decision about Christ. This decision not only determines our eternity but also shapes our daily lives. When we choose to follow Christ, we are called to die to our old selves and embrace a new life in Him. This transformation is not always easy, but it is essential for living a Christ-centered life.
Bible Verse: Since, then, you have been raised with Christ, set your hearts on things above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God. - Colossians 3:1
Reflection Question: Have you made the decision to follow Christ wholeheartedly? How does this decision impact your daily life?
Quote: "The most important decision that we will ever make is the decision that we make in this life about Christ." - Pastor Mike
Prayer: Lord, help me to make the most important decision of my life—to follow You wholeheartedly. Guide me as I die to my old self and embrace the new life You offer. Amen.
