Why You Can't Drift Into Greatness

from Men's Morning Devotional · host Metro Life Church

No man accidentally becomes a faithful husband, a godly father, or a leader of integrity — yet most guys quietly bet their lives on the lie that things will just "work themselves out." They won't. If your marriage, your finances, or your walk with God is running on autopilot, you're not coasting toward blessing — you're coasting toward the ditch.In this episode, Steve Alessi opens the book of Proverbs and confronts one of the most dangerous forms of passivity in a man's life. Wisdom keeps you out of the ditch that deliverance has to pull you out of — but only if you build on purpose. In this episode, you'll discover the progression Solomon lays out. Listen to today's episode to find out how you can avoid drifting into a dangerously uncertain future. Verse of the Day: Proverbs 1:1-3 Your Daily Man-Up Challenge Identify one area of your life that's running on autopilot — your spiritual life, your marriage, your parenting, your finances, your health, your work ethic.
