The NIV 365 Day Devotional
Duration: 365 days
Wise Preparation
Questions arise every day that need answers. What’s the best way for you to use an unexpected financial windfall? How can you stay pure in the face of sexual temptation at work? How can you show Christ’s love in your encounters with your neighbors? It’s wise to consider questions such as these—not when they become pressing, but before you face them.
The kind of discernment the apostle Paul describes in Philippians 1 doesn’t come naturally. It requires preparation, advance thought and planning, and input from other, mature believers. In short, it takes hard work. But the rewards of living a life that pleases God more than compensate for the effort involved.
