Made for More - Day 3 of 5

Five-day devotional based on the message, "The Battered Restored" by Senior Pastor Jeff Maness on August 10, 2025. Click here to watch the message.

Devotional
When we surrender to God, He begins to renew our desires and transform what we seek in life. This renewal redirects our focus from the temporary pleasures and distractions of the world to the eternal purpose found in Him. As we let God shape our thoughts and desires, we become more like Him, seeking His will and ways. This transformation is a journey, not a destination, and requires daily commitment. Allow God to renew your seeking, directing your heart towards His goodness and truth.

Bible Verse
“Don’t copy the behavior and customs of this world, but let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think. Then you will learn to know God’s will for you, which is good and pleasing and perfect.” — Romans 12:2

Sermon Quote
“There is no restoration without a renewed seeking. If your seeking has not changed—then you have not been restored.”

Reflection Question
Lord, where in my life am I copying the behavior and customs of this world that You want to renew? What part of my seeking is not renewed by You?

Prayer
Heavenly Father, renew my heart and mind. Transform my desires so that they align with Your perfect will. Help me to seek You above all else and to find joy in Your presence. May my life reflect Your love and truth. Amen.
