February 11 - Stay on the Path

FEBRUARY 11 - Stay on the Path3-Year-Bible Reading: Proverbs 10:17; Acts 11________________________________________“Whoever heeds instruction is on the path to life, but he who rejects reproof leads others astray.” — Proverbs 10:17“And when he had found him, he brought him to Antioch. For a whole year they met with the church and taught a great many people. And in Antioch the disciples were first called Christians.” — Acts 11:26________________________________________Ever feel like you’re just trying to figure out who you are and where you’re going? Maybe you’ve wondered, “What does it even mean to be a Christian, and how do I know I’m doing it right?” In Proverbs 10:17, we’re reminded that listening to wise advice keeps us on the right path. In Acts 11, we get a glimpse of early believers in Antioch who were first called Christians—not because they had a label, but because their lives reflected Jesus. They were known for living out their faith, listening to God, and sticking together. You don’t have to have all the answers right now, but you do need to pay attention to the voices that lead you toward life.________________________________________THINK ABOUT IT1. Check Your GPS: Who are you listening to? Are your friends, mentors, and media influences helping you follow Jesus—or pulling you off course?2. Live the Label: Being called a Christian isn’t about a title. It’s about showing Jesus through how you treat others, what you stand for, and how you love.3. Growth Happens Together: The believers in Antioch didn’t grow in isolation—they met together, learned together, and followed Jesus as a community. Are you staying connected to people who help you grow in your faith?________________________________________BOTTOM LINEListening to godly instruction and surrounding yourself with the right people keeps you on the path of life—and helps you live out your identity in Christ.________________________________________PRAYERHeavenly Father, thank You for giving me people who speak truth into my life. Help me to listen to Your Word, follow the right path, and reflect Jesus in the way I live. Surround me with a community that helps me grow closer to You. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
