THE MAIN THEME: WHAT DO I HAVE?
TITLE: MENTORSHIP: THE NAVIGATOR THROUGH STAGNANT WATERS
The quote for today’s devotional is:
"A mentor is someone who allows you to see the hope inside yourself."
– Oprah Winfrey
Devotional:
There are moments in life when we feel stuck, unsure of where to go or what to do next. During these times, a mentor can be the key to helping us navigate through stagnant waters. Just as a ship needs a navigator to avoid being lost at sea, we often need someone with wisdom and experience to guide us toward our potential. Mentors offer valuable advice, provide encouragement, and help us see possibilities we might not have considered.
A well-known example of mentorship in action is the relationship between Steve Jobs and Mark Zuckerberg. When Zuckerberg was developing Facebook, he sought advice from Jobs, who was an experienced entrepreneur. Jobs provided valuable insights and guidance that helped Zuckerberg navigate the complexities of growing a tech startup. This mentorship played a crucial role in Facebook’s success, demonstrating how experienced guidance can be a powerful tool in overcoming challenges and achieving growth.
Mentorship provides direction and clarity when life feels stagnant. It offers perspective and insight from someone who has already walked a similar path. Whether in personal development, career growth, or navigating complex decisions, a mentor helps you see past limitations and encourages you to take the next step forward. Just like Zuckerberg benefited from Jobs’ wisdom, you too can gain from the guidance of a mentor to help you move through life’s challenges.
Here are a few reflective questions:
- Is there an area in my life where I feel stuck or unsure?
- How could finding a mentor help me navigate through my current challenges?
- Who in my life can serve as a mentor, offering guidance and wisdom?
- In what ways can I become a mentor to someone who may be going through a similar experience?
LET US PRAY:
"Lord, thank You for the gift of mentorship. Help me to seek wise counsel when I feel stuck and to appreciate the value of those who guide me. Grant me the wisdom to learn from my mentors and the courage to mentor others when the time comes. Amen."
Please say these words of affirmation. Say them, mean them, own them and live them:
- I know what I have
- I recognize and submit to great mentors in my life.
- I am open to learning from those who have gone before me and willing to share my knowledge with others.
Do have a splendid day learning the feet of mentors. Hope to catch you tomorrow.
