In Touch Devotional 1 June 2022 (New Month) | Dr Charles Stanley

Read and Meditate on Today’s In Touch Daily Devotional for Wednesday 1st June 2022 written by Dr Charles Stanley. God bless you as you study His Word!

IN TOUCH DEVOTIONAL 1 JUNE 2022 WEDNESDAY MESSAGE

TODAY’S TOPIC: DEVELOP A LONG-TERM FOCUS
Keeping an eternal perspective aligns our actions with God’s plan.

DR CHARLES STANLEY DEVOTIONAL JUNE 1ST, 2022

SCRIPTURE: Genesis 25:19-34

Today’s Scripture reading tells the story of two brothers, one of whom was willing to sell his birthright (a double share of his father’s inheritance) for a bowl of stew. Why would Esau relinquish such a valuable asset for a temporary need? According to Hebrews, his foolish decision sprang from a godless heart (Hebrews 12:16). Esau didn’t value what God had given him but was concerned only about his immediate needs.

The problem with this mindset is that it leaves no room for things of eternal value—in other words, things of God. Of course, we all like to think we have enough common sense and intelligence to make good decisions. But as followers of Christ, we must rely upon the Lord’s wisdom instead of our own.

If you’re constantly preoccupied with immediate needs and desires, ask the Lord to help you understand what He wants for your future. Read His Word and ask for guidance to a path that brings Him everlasting glory. As was true of Esau, certain decisions you make will have long-term consequences. So trust the Lord, and carefully consider the eternal outcome before you make a commitment.

Bible in One Year: Job 1-4
