10X Your Faith

Dear Friend,
 
Welcome to an exciting 10-day journey!
 
First, let me say how proud I am of you for choosing to spend these next ten days growing closer to God. Whether you’re participating with your family, your church, or on your own, I believe God has something special He wants to do in your life.
 
The Bible tells us that Daniel and his friends chose to follow God, even when it wasn’t easy. Because they trusted Him, obeyed Him, and stayed faithful, God strengthened them, gave them wisdom, and used them to change the world around them.
 
I believe He wants to do the same through you.
 
As you read these devotions each day, don’t just read the stories, ask God to help you live them. Let His Word shape the way you think, strengthen your faith, sharpen your focus, and give you the courage to stand for Him wherever you are.
 
I also want to take a moment to celebrate three very special people—my children, Rob (3J), Micah, and Faith Matthews.
 
Thank you for saying “yes” to this project. Thank you for studying God’s Word, writing from your hearts, and being willing to share your faith so that other young people can grow closer to Jesus. Your willingness to serve others at your age is a beautiful picture of what it means to follow Christ.
