Dear Students,

I promised you when I preached in chapel last week that I would send out a challenge over the Christmas break about discovering God's plan for your life. I'm enjoying my vacation today, but it was very important to me that you had this to work on.

The passage that I would like you to focus on this week is Psalm 139:13-18. Write out ten insights about God or about you, like you did with the passages in Jeremiah. I want you to see how important you are to God and understand how uniquely He made you. As you do this, remember that it is not about having devotions; it is about devoting yourself to God, allowing Him to reveal Himself to you and surrendering yourself to His will.

For the sake of accountability, I encourage you to share your thoughts with a friend or a mentor.

In His Service,

Tom Messer
