Mission Possible: A Daily Devotional for Young Readers

Mission Possible: A Daily Devotional for Young Readers

Introduction


Do you wonder if God really has a plan for your life? Do you ask yourself questions like these?

What difference can I make?

Does anything I do really matter?

Maybe what I’m talking about is all new to you. Maybe you’ve never thought about your life beyond school and friends and video games. If that’s the case, I’m about to rock your world. I want to introduce you to the idea of purpose.

Purpose is a big deal, but it’s also a lot simpler than you may think. Ultimately, as followers of Jesus Christ, our purpose is to know God and make Him known. And we do that by loving and serving Him and others.

You are holding this book in your hand right now because you want to make your life count. You want to make a difference, but you’re not exactly sure where to start and how to keep going. Well, guess what? God wants to use you within His great plan for humanity. He has a plan and a purpose for your life! And I’m going to be with you for the next 365 days to help you discover what that is.

This devotional is broken down into a wide range of topics that are going to teach you what it takes to live a mission-possible life, including the basics of a mission mindset, what it really means to sacrifice, and how weakness can actually be a strength. You’ll also have a chance to hear from some special people in my life, people we’ve served through the Tim Tebow Foundation (TTF) who have graciously offered to share words of comfort, hope, and challenge through their perspective of what it means to live mission possible.

In addition to multiple themed devotionals, twice a month you’ll read through a prayer I’ve written for you using a combination of different passages in Scripture. To get the most out of the prayer, look up these verses in the translation of your choice and spend time meditating on them.

What I call mission essentials also appear approximately quarterly. These devotionals target timeless truths to keep you encouraged, anchored, and focused on God as you continue to live mission possible.

Be sure to keep a prayer journal or notebook handy so you can jot down answers to the questions at the end of each devotional. Or feel free to write in the margins, if you prefer.

Take your time reading these devos. Don’t rush through them. Give yourself a chance to hear God speak to your heart and offer you some spiritual training.

Let’s start making each day count, together.
