Day 1: The Foundation of Your Why

Reading: Romans 5:6-8

Before you had anything to offer, Christ came. Not when you had cleaned yourself up, not when you had earned it, but while you were still in the middle of your worst. That is the foundation of your why. The pastor reminded us that "our foundation of our why should be of what Christ did on the cross for us." When life presses in and the enemy leans close asking why you keep going, the answer is not found in your strength, your record, or your resolve. It is found entirely in what was done for you on the cross. Start there. Return there daily.

Reflection: Write down one area of your life where you have been striving in your own strength. Surrender it to the One who already gave everything for you.
