Every Nation: Shift from "Me-First" to
"God-First"<http://links.purposedriven.com/u.d?P4GttBY_o8yr6kJdw=53>
by Rick Warren
In our Devotionals series, Pastor Rick Warren discusses the Bible passages
that inspire him the most. Today's Devotional is based on this passage: "Jesus
said to his followers, 'Go everywhere in the world, and tell the Good News
to everyone'" (Mark 16:15 NCV).
People with "me-first" faith ask, "How can God make my life more
comfortable?" They want to use God for their purposes instead of being used
for His purposes.
"God-first" believers know they've been saved to serve and made for mission.
They're eager to receive a personal assignment and excited about the
privilege of being used by God.
Their joy, confidence, and enthusiasm are contagious because they know
they're making a difference. They wake up each morning expecting God to work
through them in fresh ways.
Which type of believer do you want to be?
God invites you to participate in the greatest, largest, most diverse, and
most significant cause in history—building his kingdom. History is His
story; He's building His family for eternity. Nothing matters more and
nothing will last as long.
>From the book of Revelation we know God's global mission will be
accomplished, that someday the Great Commission will be the great
completion. In heaven, an enormous crowd of people "from every race, tribe,
nation, and language" will one day stand before Jesus Christ to worship Him
(Revelation 7:9 CEV).
Becoming a "God-first" believer will allow you to experience in advance a
little of what heaven will be like.
Rick Warren is the founding pastor of Saddleback Church in Lake Forest,
Calif., one of America’s largest and best-known churches. In addition, Rick
is author of the New York Times bestseller The Purpose Driven Life and The
Purpose Driven Church. Notice our new look? The Daily Devotional is
still the same scripture study you love and trust. But we’ve changed the way
it looks as it becomes a part of the new *Purpose Driven
