DDD: Outward or Inward? The Heart That Honors God

A Devotion for your drive into work: 

Do today’s decisions focus on outward qualifications and appearance, or will an inward foundation—humbly transformed by the Holy Spirit—lead to real praise from God above all others?

Pastor Brian teaches that true belonging in God’s family is not by outward ritual or human recognition, but by having a heart marked by repentance, surrender, and authentic devotion. The selection of David over his outwardly impressive brothers (1 Samuel 16) illustrates that God seeks inner change, not external status. The devotional calls believers to prioritize inward transformation over social validation, letting each prayer and decision advance God’s values at work and in the community. The concluding prayer asks for God to cultivate hearts fully surrendered and ready to make an impact for Christ wherever they serve.
