Max Lucado Devotional 20 August 2024: A Future-Facing Follower
READ TODAY’S DAILY DEVOTIONAL FOR 20TH AUGUST 2024 BY MAX LUCADO
Topic: A Future-Facing Follower
C.S. Lewis said, “If you read history, you will find that the Christians who did most for the present world were just those who thought the most of the next.” We have bills to pay, kids to raise, deadlines to meet. Why occupy our thoughts with the “not yet” when we need strength to face the “right now”? Understanding the future empowers us to face the present.
That was the apostle Paul’s opinion. “I focus on this one thing: Forgetting the past and looking forward to what lies ahead, I press on to reach the end of the race and receive the heavenly prize for which God, through Christ Jesus, is calling us” (Philippians 3:13-14 NLT). The best of life is yet to be. Got challenges in this life? Then ponder the next. Be a future-facing follower of Christ.
