NIV 365 / The One and Only

The NIV 365-Day Devotional Reading Plan

Day 189 of 365 The One and Only We search for the right college, career, house or wife. When we find the right one, we know. The excitement of a discovery can make us shout, "This is the one!" But of all the decisions we make in a lifetime, nothing is as exciting as deciding to follow Jesus Christ. That choice is different from any other decision we will ever make; Jesus is not one of many options, he is the only option if we want to have a life of abundance and freedom. If Jesus is the One, nothing else can make that claim. We can't trust our ultimate security and well-being to a company, career, government, or even a wife. Our ultimate allegiance must belong to Jesus alone. REFLECT & PRAY: *Review your most important relationships - with your company, your friends, your church. Has your allegiance to any of them surpassed your allegiance to Jesus Christ? *Why must your ultimate allegiance be to Jesus? *What steps can you take to return your ultimate allegiance to Jesus? Taken from NIV Busy Dad's Bible Matthew 16:16 Matthew 16:16 KJV 16 And Simon Peter answered and said, Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God.
