The Compass of Values
Defining What Guides You, Your Core Values
The Compass of Values begins where faith becomes direction. Scripture provides clarity through the Ten Commandments, the Seven Virtues, and awareness of the Seven Sins, defining what is right, strengthening character, and exposing what leads the heart astray.
The Core Principles - The Ten Commandments
The Ten Commandments express God’s moral law and the foundation of righteous living. They reveal how to honour Him, respect others, and live with integrity. Each commandment points to a divine order that protects life, faith, and relationship, shaping how believers walk faithfully before God.
The Constructive Traits - The Seven Holy Virtues
The Holy Virtues turn biblical teaching into action. They reflect the fruit of a life transformed by God’s grace, shaping character through humility, gratitude, patience, diligence, charity, temperance, and chastity. These traits mirror Christlike behaviour and strengthen the heart to live faithfully in every circumstance.
The Counterproductive Traits - The Seven Deadly Sins
The Seven Deadly Sins expose what draws the heart away from God. Each reveals a distortion of desire that replaces devotion with self-interest. By recognising these inner struggles, we learn to resist what weakens faith and to seek God’s strength to restore clarity, humility, and obedience.
The Pillars of Relationships
Revealing How Values Influence One Another
The Pillars of Relationships show how every principle, virtue, and sin interacts, each either strengthening or weakening alignment. Recognising these patterns helps believers see where growth is strong and where renewal is needed.
Constructive Traits vs. Counterproductive Traits Dynamics
The tension between strength and distortion.
Each holy virtue opposes its deadly sin. Scripture reminds us that faith is tested through these inner battles. Recognising the tension helps us see where temptation begins and how godly character restores balance through the Spirit’s strength.
Traits vs. Core Principles Dynamics
How virtues uphold God's commandments.
This section connects biblical virtues to the commandments they uphold. It reveals how the practice of virtue strengthens obedience to God’s law and how sin disrupts it. Seeing these relationships builds spiritual consistency, helping believers align thought, motive, and action with God’s truth in daily life.
The Path to Purposeful Living
Turning Understanding into Consistent Action
The Path to Purposeful Living transforms belief into movement. It helps you live with awareness, humility, and renewal through daily reflection and intentional correction.
This movement follows three ongoing stages:
- Reflection: Recognise where actions align or drift.
- Realignment: Adjust focus through deliberate change.
- Renewal: Restore balance through gratitude and discipline.
These stages create rhythm, helping you stay faithful in thought, word, and action.
How Can I Recognise When I’ve Drifted from What I Believe?
Drift begins quietly. Reflection helps you notice small compromises before they grow. “Examine yourselves as to whether you are in the faith. Test yourselves.” — 2 Corinthians 13:5
How Do I Measure Myself — by Scripture or by Comfort?
Faith is not measured by feeling but by obedience. God’s Word defines alignment; reflection brings correction. “But be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves.” — James 1:22
How Can Daily Practice Help Me Return to Humility and Obedience?
Renewal is a rhythm. Prayer, gratitude, and self-honesty restore focus and dependence on God. “Draw near to God and He will draw near to you.” — James 4:8
Reflection Tools – Seeing Clearly
Reflection is where awareness begins. It allows you to look honestly at your thoughts, motives, and actions in the light of God’s truth. When reflection is grounded in Scripture, it becomes more than self-assessment; it becomes discernment. These tools help you recognise where your heart has stayed aligned with God’s will and where it has begun to drift. Through reflection, faith becomes intentional, obedience becomes mindful, and each day becomes an opportunity to grow closer to Him.
Each Reflection Tool serves the same purpose: to bring awareness into focus and turn faith into clarity. Through honest observation, you begin to see the connection between what you believe and how you live. Reflection nurtures humility, strengthens gratitude, and prepares the heart for realignment. It is here that transformation begins, quietly, consistently, and always in the presence of God.
If–Then Reflections
Conditional thinking often limits trust. Many of us live with quiet “if–then” statements shaping our devotion: If life goes well, then I will be grateful. If I succeed, then I will believe I am blessed. This thinking reduces faith to outcome.
“Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct your paths.” - (Proverbs 3:5–6)
This passage reminds us that peace grows from surrender, not from control. When you notice an “if–then” pattern where faith depends on comfort or achievement, you can rewrite it through truth: If I trust in the Lord, then I am secure, even when life is uncertain.
Reflection through this tool helps you uncover what drives your confidence and redirects it toward God’s reliability instead of circumstance.
Alignment Tracker
The Alignment Tracker turns daily awareness into spiritual discipline. It helps you see how consistently your actions reflect the values God calls you to live by.
“Let us not grow weary while doing good, for in due season we shall reap if we do not lose heart.” - (Galatians 6:9)
This verse encourages perseverance and reminds us that even unseen acts of faith bear fruit in time.
Each day, note where faith, humility, patience, or compassion have guided your behaviour, and where frustration, pride, or fear have taken the lead. This habit of gentle accountability strengthens faith in the smallest moments. The goal is not perfection but consistency, staying aware of how your actions express your faith in practice.
End-of-Day Journal
The close of each day is an invitation to pause and meet with God.
“Meditate within your heart on your bed, and be still. Offer the sacrifices of righteousness, and put your trust in the Lord.” - (Psalm 4:4–5)
This verse encourages quiet reflection before rest, an act of honesty and peace.
Use this time to write briefly about the day’s moments of obedience, gratitude, or struggle. Where did you rely on God’s strength? Where did you lean on your own understanding? Journaling in this way becomes a form of prayer, an ongoing conversation with God that ends the day in humility and calm.
Weekly Review
The Weekly Review mirrors the rhythm of Sabbath rest and renewal.
“Let us search out and examine our ways, and turn back to the Lord.” - (Lamentations 3:40)
This call is not to guilt but to growth, reminding us that self-examination is a path toward restoration.
Each week, take time to review your reflections and notes from the previous days. Look for patterns in behaviour or thought, where faith has strengthened and where distraction has persisted. Then choose one biblical value to focus on in the week ahead. This rhythm keeps faith active, always moving forward through reflection and renewal.
Red-Flag Catalogue
Red flags are early spiritual warnings, moments when the heart begins to drift before actions reveal it.
“Let all bitterness, wrath, anger, clamour, and evil speaking be put away from you.” - (Ephesians 4:31)
This guidance calls for attentiveness. These emotions and attitudes, when noticed early, become opportunities for realignment rather than regret.
Recording these small alerts, such as an impatient thought, a defensive reaction, or a moment of envy, helps prevent them from growing unnoticed. The Red-Flag Catalogue teaches awareness and prayerful reflection. It invites you to recognise when peace has been replaced by pride, resentment, or distraction. Reflection at this level is not about judgment but awareness, the first step in every renewal.
Realignment Tools – Correcting Course
Realignment is the movement from awareness to change. It is how we respond to conviction with obedience, turning reflection into renewed direction. These tools help you act on what God reveals, replacing distraction with focus and hesitation with faith.
Each Realignment Tool serves the same purpose: to restore order where the heart has drifted. Through them, you learn to correct gently, act intentionally, and walk once again in step with God’s truth.
Trait-to-Trait Cross-Map
This tool invites you to see how your virtues and challenges influence each other. It reveals how one strengthens or weakens another, helping you bring balance to your inner life.
“Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.” - (Romans 12:21)
This verse reminds us that transformation begins by strengthening what is right rather than merely resisting what is wrong.
Jurnava has already mapped these relationships through the Seven Holy Virtues and Seven Deadly Sins. Use this as a guide to reflect on how each virtue within you counteracts its opposite challenge. Growth in one area will bring harmony to many others.
Trait–Principle Cross-Map
This tool connects the virtues and challenges within your character to the Core Principles of Scripture. It helps you understand how inner traits support or oppose God’s commands.
“If you love Me, keep My commandments.” - (John 14:15)
This verse reveals that true obedience flows from love. When the heart is rightly aligned, actions follow naturally.
Jurnava has also mapped how these virtues and challenges align with each of the Ten Commandments. Use this as a reminder to consider which traits help you live out God’s principles faithfully and which ones may be drawing you away from them. Realignment happens when you consciously strengthen the traits that build integrity and honour God’s truth.
One-Behaviour Reset
Sometimes realignment begins with one small act of obedience. This tool focuses your energy on a single behaviour that draws you closer to God.
“But be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves.” - (James 1:22)
Faith matures through practice. Identify one habit that leads you away from God and replace it with one that honours Him. Small changes, repeated in faith, create lasting direction.
When one behaviour aligns with God’s word, it often restores clarity in other areas of life. Realignment does not require perfection, only the willingness to act faithfully one choice at a time.
Boundary Recommitment
Boundaries protect what is sacred. They preserve your focus and peace by keeping distractions from becoming masters.
“Keep your heart with all diligence, for out of it spring the issues of life.” - (Proverbs 4:23)
This verse calls you to guard the source of your spiritual strength. Boundaries are one way of keeping the heart with diligence. They prevent what is sacred from being slowly eroded by distraction, demand, or compromise.
Setting limits around time, thought, and energy is not a restriction but an act of devotion. It is the way you make space for God to remain first in every part of life.
24-Hour Micro-Plan
Faithfulness grows through rhythm, not rush. The 24-Hour Micro-Plan helps you structure each day around small moments of obedience and gratitude.
“The steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord, and He delights in his way.” - (Psalm 37:23)
Every step matters to God. Begin the morning with Scripture or prayer, pause at midday for reflection, and close the evening with thanksgiving. Each day becomes a complete cycle of renewal, a rhythm that keeps faith alive and purpose clear.
When you plan each day with God in mind, ordinary routines become sacred patterns of devotion. Realignment turns from an occasional correction into a daily walk of steady trust.
Renewal Tools – Sustaining Growth
Renewal restores strength and preserves spiritual focus. It is where correction becomes consistency and obedience matures into peace. These tools help you build rhythm in your walk with God so that growth is not an occasional breakthrough but a steady pattern of living.
Each Renewal Tool serves one purpose: to sustain alignment through gratitude, rest, and reflection. Renewal protects the heart from burnout, keeps devotion alive, and reminds you that faith is not only about what you correct but what you continually nourish.
Reset Ritual
Renewal begins with stillness. The Reset Ritual is a brief pause to quiet the noise, release tension, and return focus to God.
“Be still, and know that I am God.” - (Psalm 46:10)
This verse calls for more than silence; it invites awareness. Stillness is not empty space but sacred pause where perspective resets and peace returns.
Use a moment of stillness during your day to step away from distraction. Breathe, recall a short verse, or pray a simple prayer such as, “Lord, bring my thoughts back to You.” These small pauses anchor the spirit in God’s presence, keeping faith alive in the midst of busyness.
Rest Protocols
Rest is a form of obedience. It acknowledges that God sustains what we release.
“Six days you shall labour and do all your work, but the seventh day is the Sabbath of the Lord your God.” - (Exodus 20:9–10)
This commandment reminds us that rest is not optional. It is holy rhythm built into creation itself. Rest teaches trust, showing that peace does not depend on constant effort but on surrender to God’s care.
Build intentional moments of rest into your week. Step away from work, silence unnecessary noise, and allow space for reflection. True rest restores more than energy; it renews faith by reminding you that your life is held in divine balance.
Perspective Review
Perspective shapes how you interpret life’s challenges. This tool helps you see circumstances through God’s eyes rather than human expectation.
“For My thoughts are not your thoughts, nor are your ways My ways, says the Lord.” - (Isaiah 55:8–9)
This verse reminds us that divine wisdom often unfolds differently than we imagine. What feels delayed may be preparation. What feels hidden may be protection.
Use the Perspective Review to reframe moments of frustration or disappointment. Ask yourself, “How might God be working through this?” By shifting view from control to trust, you rediscover purpose in waiting and patience in trial.
Deep Work and Deep Rest Blocks
Renewal thrives in rhythm. Deep Work and Deep Rest Blocks help structure your time so that both productivity and peace honour God.
“Whatever you do, do it heartily, as to the Lord and not to men.” - (Colossians 3:23)
This verse teaches that purpose is found not in the task itself but in the intention behind it. When work is offered to God, it becomes worship. When rest is received as gift, it becomes gratitude.
Plan blocks of focused effort for meaningful work, and follow them with genuine rest. Allow reflection, prayer, or quiet creativity to restore balance. In doing so, you mirror God’s own design of work followed by rest, keeping the mind clear and the spirit renewed.
Gratitude Log
Gratitude transforms perspective and keeps the heart grounded in joy.
“In everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.” - (1 Thessalonians 5:18)
This verse calls for gratitude not only when life is easy but also in seasons of challenge. Thankfulness is not denial of hardship but recognition of grace that continues within it.
Record three blessings each day, whether small or significant. It may be peace after prayer, encouragement from a friend, or strength to continue when weary. Gratitude reshapes the mind to dwell on God’s provision rather than lack. Over time, it becomes a rhythm of renewal that keeps faith steady and heart content.
Renewal is not a finish line but a continuing rhythm of grace. Each act of gratitude, rest, or reflection prepares the heart for new awareness and deeper alignment. The Path to Purposeful Living continues in this quiet rhythm — sustained by faith, guided by peace, and strengthened by God’s presence in every step.
