Going Next Level Journal--Thursday

Day 5 - Thursday, September 15, 2011 

Read: Isaiah 60:21; 1 Corinthians 6:20 

We are the work of God’s hands – with the purpose of showing  His glory and 

splendor.  We are bought with a price; we are not our own - we belong to God.  

As we work and serve at Discover Church, we are not here to showcase our own 

talents and gifts, but to proclaim Him, the Author and Giver of all talents and 

abilities. His promises are not dependent upon our own abilities or favorable 

circumstances, but on the work of God in our lives, and our humility before Him. 

Remember, Jesus came to serve; not to be served and He is our example to fol- 

low. 

Father, 

Thank you for the gifts and abilities you have placed in our lives. May we surren- 

der fully to You and allow You to equip and use us in any way You desire.  May 

we be willing to receive no praise or credit for what we do.  May we always be 

willing to take the lowest place, to be a servant, to work not for individual 

praise, but for the building up of Your kingdom on earth, and for the glory of 

Jesus Christ. 

Pray and ask God to show you today ways to serve the 10 people that you 

have been praying for. 

Journal: What new thing has God shown you today, and how will you apply it to 

your life?

Going Next Level Journal--Wednesday

Day 4 - Wednesday, September 14, 2011 

Read:  1 Samuel 15:22; John 14:15, 1 Corinthians 15:58 

These passages remind us of the importance of steadfast obedience to God. The 

smallest and seemingly most insignificant thing we may do is not in vain if done 

in obedience and for the glory of God. We are reminded of the priority God 

places on obedience over sacrifices. We are challenged continually to obey God 

– keeping His commandments is a sign of our love for Him. 

Father, 

We pray today we will be obedient to You in every situation and circumstance. 

Help us to seek Your will always, and then obey You without hesitation. Thank 

you for providing the wisdom and ability required when You call us to any task. 

Help us to step out in faith knowing You are with us always to lead and guide at 

every step. 

Pray for your 10 people and ask God for opportunities to invite others that you 

come in contact with today.   

Journal: Reflect on what God has shown you today, and how you will apply it to 

your life.

Going Next Level Journal--Monday

Just in case you missed Sunday or misplaced your journal.  I have included today's Going The Next Level devotional.  Join the rest of Discover Church as we do whatever is necessary to get people to Jesus.  Let's Plow, Plant, and Harvest our way to reaching our friends, neighbors, co-workers with the gospel of Jesus!  Can't wait till Sunday...

Day 2 – Monday, September 12, 2011  

Read: Psalm 1:3, Jeremiah 17:8 

Today’s passages remind us that we are like a tree that God has planted along a 

continual source of water. No plant grows by itself; it must be planted. As we take 

care to plant in the best soil and provide nutrients and water, God places us where 

we are provided with all the resources for this life. 

Father, 

We pray today the roots of our lives will go down deeper and deeper in You. May 

we always seek You as our source of nourishment. We pray that we may flourish 

even in the dry and difficult seasons of life. We pray You will produce the fruit of 

Your Spirit in us so we may be nourished ourselves, as well as nourish others –          

so when we prosper, benefits will come to others. 

Pray for the 10 people whom you will be inviting and ask God to give you the 

names of others if you do not have 10. 

Journal: Write about what God has shown you today, and how you will apply it to 

your life.
