What Do I Know About What God Wants From Me?
The second section is all about what God wants from you. At the top of this page, fill in the title with something that you read in your devotional time in the Word that God wants you to be. On these lined pages, record verses that you have read in your devotional time that refer to that. Some examples are:
Start with just a few pages in each category. As God teaches you about Himself, add pages for new categories of things you are learning about your God or about what He wants from you. As you collect verses on these topics, you will have a resource for times when you need to study that topic or when a friend or one of your children is struggling and needs some encouragement.
The goal of your devotional time is to learn about God. To come to know Him.
Hebrews 11:6 tells us that God is a rewarder of them that diligently seek Him.
Jeremiah 9:23-24 tells us that instead of glorying in our wisdom, might, or riches, we should glory in this: that we understand and know God. That is what God takes delight in!
- MY GOD WANTS ME TO be kind
- MY GOD WANTS ME TO be a good steward of my money
- MY GOD WANTS ME TO redeem my time
- MY GOD WANTS ME TO spend time with Him daily.

Thus saith the LORD, Let not the wise man glory in his wisdom, neither let the mighty man glory in his might, let not the rich man glory in his riches: But let him that glorieth glory in this, that he understandeth and knoweth me, that I am the LORD which exercise lovingkindness, judgment, and righteousness, in the earth: for in these things I delight, saith the LORD.
--Jeremiah 9:23-24
