Worksheet:
Today there is a practical exercise to reveal your sinful tendencies to manipulate life and your daily need to return to Christ. This exercise will humble you, which is one of the first steps in serving Jesus and others. Read through each bulleted list. Under “The Orphan,” think about the words and what they mean if you see that tendency in yourself. Write out on a piece of paper or type the words that most apply. Do the same thing under “The Son/Daughter,” check boxes.
Meditate on Scripture:
1. What is one thing you learned from today?
2. How do you feel after going through this exercise? Remember God is working in and through you to grow so have hope.
3. What disciplines can you practice to remind yourself that you are God’s child each day?
Pray:
Take a minute to pray and ask God to join you on this journey you are in and commit again to following and believing in Him.
