Who Will Tell Your Story?
Scripture
“Teach us to number our days, that we may gain a heart of wisdom.”
– Psalm 90:12 (NKJV)
Devotion
Pastor Darren opens with a piercing question: “Who will tell your story one day?” Not just who will tell it—but what will they say?
Every life is writing chapters. Your family, your church, the people you work with—they’re reading your life right now. When they gather years from now around tables, fire pits, or church pews, what kind of story will they tell about you?
Many people drift through life as if it’s “ordinary,” just surviving the day-to-day. But God is not writing an ordinary story with you. He’s weaving a testimony that can impact generations.
Psalm 90:12 calls us to “number our days”—to live with intentionality, realizing that time is limited and precious. You don’t have to be perfect to leave a legacy, but you do have to be purposeful. Naomi’s life was full of pain, loss, and even bitterness; yet her story still became part of the lineage of Christ. Why? Because she got up, turned back toward God’s people, and walked in His direction again.
Your legacy won’t be defined by never failing. It will be defined by what you do when you fall, when you hurt, when life disappoints you. Do you stay in Moab, or do you get up and head back toward Bethlehem?

Reflection
- If someone close to you wrote your story today, what three words might they use to describe your life in Christ?
- Is there anything you’re doing right now that you know won’t produce the kind of story you want told later?
- What one shift would move your story closer to Christlikeness?
