SCRIPTURE: But Daniel purposed in his heart that he would not defile himself with the portion of the king’s meat, nor with the wine which he drank: therefore he requested of the prince of the eunuchs that he might not defile himself. Daniel 1:8.
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: A sense of purpose or vision is key to character development.
It is an established fact that your character is key to your destiny. To have a solid destiny, you must possess a quality and positive character.
One thing to know about character is that Christian character development is a process.
Ephesians 4:15 says,
But speaking the truth in love, may grow up into him in all things, which is the head, even Christ:
Please take note of the phrase,
… may grow up into him…
So, Christian character development is a growth process.
Character development is not a destination; it is an adventure. We develop Christian character through a growth process.
Now, one factor that facilitates Christian character development is a sense of vision and purpose for Godly character.
Daniel 1:8 says,
But Daniel purposed in his heart that he would not defile himself with the portion of the king’s meat, nor with the wine which he drank: therefore he requested of the prince of the eunuchs that he might not defile himself.
A sense of purpose or vision is key to character development.
A sense of vision and purpose is very important in character development because it takes knowing exactly the kind of person you want to be in life to develop godly character.
The question I would like to ask is: what kind of person do you want to be in life? What kind of life do you want to live? Who are the role models of the kind of life you admire? A sense of purpose and vision is very important in the development of godly character.
Beloved, please put a godly vision ahead of you so you can develop a godly character.
Remember this: A sense of purpose or vision is key to character development.
