Kũt 8:15

Join Hillsong East Coast's online experience and walk through this corresponding plan based on Pastor Chrishan Jeyaratnam's September 2021 message, "Nothing Wasted." Read through God's Word within each devotional and reflect through guided questions for individual consideration and group discussion. We pray it encourages you to reframe your reality.

These five reflections from scripture through the prisms of Jesus, Paul, Solomon, and Wesley, plus the subject of debt, are not exhaustive and, for the sake of continuity, are selective. I am not trying to say everything, but I hope what you read will bring a biblically faithful perspective, if not the whole story.

What would our lives look like if we recognized that gratitude is the key to understanding our relationships with one another, the world around us, and God? By exploring gratitude, we will discover that being grateful to God is our righteous duty and also the best predictor of our well-being. Gratitude is an urgent necessity that, remarkably, also makes us more faithful, joyful, generous, healthy, and content.

Christians are different. They can’t help it. When you’re in Christ and filled with the Spirit, it changes you. This leads to strange expectations. It’s a different kind of hope flowing from Christ’s perspective on things. This is the fifth in a series of 5-day plans that uses the Lord’s Prayer to show how Jesus invites us to approach life and the future.
