LOVE WORTH FINDING 8TH MAY 2025 THURSDAY DEVOTIONAL MESSAGE BY ADRIAN ROGERS
TOPIC: Who is Running Your Life?
“Jesus said to him, ‘I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.’” – John 14:6
Ponder This
So many are sitting on the throne of their lives, saying, “It’s my life. I’m going to do what I want to do. Nobody’s going to tell me what to do. Nobody’s going to make me do anything. I’m going run my life myself.” The interests of life: business, family, pleasure, sex, home, vacations, education are influenced by who is on the throne. The self-directed life is full of many pursuits without any true satisfaction.
In a Christ-controlled life, Christ is not outside of life. Christ is in that life, and Christ is on the throne of that life. A Christian is not somebody who merely believes intellectually that Christ died for sins. The devil believes that. A Christian is somebody who has invited Christ into his or her life to take control as Lord. Jesus takes the throne.
- What are some ways you have sought to run your life? How has that worked out or not worked out?
- What does it look like to have Christ as Lord of your life? Who has been an example of that for you?
Practice This
Thank someone who has been to you an example of a life under Christ’s lordship. Ask that person for insight on how you can do likewise.
