DAY 31
ASPIRE
1 Corinthians 11:1
“Aspire” means to seek to attain or accomplish a particular goal; ascend, soar.
Psalm 37:4 NIV says, “Delight yourself in the Lord and he will give you the desires of your heart.”
It’s nice to look up to people and think they’re something special but let us take it a step further and aspire to be like those people in our lives whom we admire. I’m not talking about people who look like they are successful but whose lives are falling apart behind closed doors. I want you to think about those people in your life who are tried and true. They are the real thing. Nobody’s perfect but it’s good to admire the people in your life who genuinely show the love of God to others. Just being with them, you know that they have spent time with the Lord. I believe you know the blessing of this kind of relationship.
It is also important that you be someone others look up to. Your example (good or bad) will speak louder than anything you say. You are a witness of the love of Christ. You are an ambassador. You are God’s son or daughter—a son or daughter of not just a king but of the King of Kings.
Aspire to be someone great and be someone others aspire to be!
