Deuteronomy 10:18

You are always in the process of becoming. Who you are becoming may be more or less who you really want to be. As a follower of Jesus Christ, you are meant to become more like Him. One day, one decision, and one action at a time. The Becoming reading plans will look at four facets of discipleship, moving you closer to a life that looks like Jesus.

How many times do we stop and take time to appreciate the world around and above us? God covered the heavens with His majesty; all of creation speaks to us about His power. But He also created us with a purpose–to have a personal relationship with Him. Through this devotional, we will take the focus off ourselves to look up in awe, surrender, and worship with thankfulness.

Cru is a movement dedicated to helping everyone know someone who truly follows Jesus. In July 2017, over 5,000 Cru staff gathered for a week of inspirational growth - leaving in awe of Jesus and the gospel. Each of these five devotionals from Cru17 contains a short audio segment from a main speaker ( 1-2 minutes ). Our prayer is that these highlights help you trust God to make your life count.
