Day 2 Believe I have called thee by thy name; thou art mine. When thou passest through the waters, I will be with thee; and through the rivers, they shall not overflow thee: when thou walkest through the fire, thou shalt not be burned; neither shall the flame kindle upon thee. Ye are my witnesses, saith the LORD, and my servant whom I have chosen: that ye may know and believe me, and understand that I am he: before me there was no God formed, neither shall there be after me.—Isaiah 43:1–2, 10 W e must remember to step back in order to step forward. Stepping back allows us to have a better perspective on where God wants us to go, or should I say where He wants to lead us. Often, we busy ourselves with routines, projects, meetings, and deadlines without stopping to give God glory or ask for advice on how to proceed with the tasks at hand. Start each day by asking God to organize your thoughts and your day. We must strengthen our faith in God and the way we acknowledge His promises to experience our greatest natural and spiritual success. One morning, I knelt down to pray and ended belly-up on the floor with my arms extended as the spirit of the Lord grabbed my heart. What was vivid during my prayer time was the image of the position of Christ on the cross and the emotions I felt from the pain and suffering He endured for our sins. There I met Him to say, “Thank you,” and to give God glory. I encourage you to think about changing positions while praying. Try lying prostrate before the Lord to pray. Extend your arms to form a cross with your body and begin to call out His name. Ask God to order your steps so that you might work and walk more effectively and efficiently for Him. God will guide us as we seek to be more productive in order to meet the demands of the day. As you go through your day, say and do everything for His glory. Believe that He will reward you if you seek Him with your whole heart. Expect God’s favor to be upon your life every day. You are personally chosen by God, and He is with you always.

About the Book
Years ago, devout Christian Gwendolyn Wilson Diggs thought she’d been forgotten by God. While waiting in line for a life purpose, she felt skipped over. Others members of her musically inclined family sang or played instruments, yet she did nothing. Then, during a particularly dark period, she sat down and screamed, “God, what do you want me to do?” His response: “Spread my Word and proclaim the gospel of Christ.” Diggs’s A Place of My Own to Give God Glory offers forty devotions, each illuminated by scripture and inspired by God. By putting God first and seeking His face, Diggs discovered her true purpose; since then, she has been filled with the joy and peace of Christ, and she seeks to spread His Word to the whole world. She artfully combines life experiences with scripture, turning each devotion into applicable lessons for your Christian walk, with included journal sections for personal reflection. Proverbs tells us, “In all thy ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct thy paths.” God is waiting for you to walk at His side. These daily devotions will encourage you to view your difficulties from a Christian perspective. All of your questioning will reveal your purpose. God does hear you, and He wants you to hear His voice. All it takes is daily devotion to Him, and never forget the most important thing in life: Give God Glory!
