It’s My Birthday: 5 Scriptures for Life Focus

Do you enjoy celebrating birthdays? How do you handle getting older? And is there a way to celebrate another year along with a life focus?

Today, December 1st, is my birthday.

And, of course, my twin sister, Sharon, made an appearance in the world this same day a few minutes after me.

(1.) A Heart Completely God’s: Life Focus

“For the eyes of the Lord move to and fro throughout the earth that He may strongly support those whose heart is completely His.” 2 Chronicles 16:9 (NASB, 1995 edition)

This isn’t a half-hearted devotion to the Lord as secondary in my life. No, I make Him number one with my highest devotion and attention. 

Reflection: Is our heart divided between God and the world or completely His?

Prayer: Lord, I continue to welcome You into my heart to reign supremely. Help my heart stay undivided and completely Yours. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
