Today’s Topic: The Benefits of Accountability
Giving others permission to speak into our life helps us avoid common pitfalls.
Scripture: Hebrews 10:23-25
23 Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering; (for he is faithful that promised;)
24 And let us consider one another to provoke unto love and to good works:
25 Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching.
In Touch Daily Devotional – Dr. Charles Stanley 26 September 2023
Yesterday, we learned that we’re all answerable to someone. Today, let’s look at the benefits of accountability:
Clear direction. Honesty about your faults allows you the opportunity to hear right counsel and encouragement. This will help you do and become all that God has in mind for you.
Increased integrity. If you have to give an account to somebody, you’re more likely to be honest and transparent.
Better stewardship. Accounting for the way you use money, time, or talent makes you careful not to waste those resources.
Protection against excess. As children of God, we are free in Christ, but an accountability partner helps us stay balanced and guards us from taking liberties.
Healthy self-examination. Another person can often point out what we cannot see in ourselves.
Safeguard against unwise relationships. If you give an account of the places you go and the people you spend time with, you’ll be more likely to make wise choices.
Unbridled freedom may seem like a great blessing, but it can be a recipe for disaster. Do you give an account to anybody for the way you handle money, time, and relationships? If not, consider inviting a trustworthy Christian to fill that role. Taking this step reveals a heart that longs to please God.
Bible in One Year: Nahum 1-3
