What about it...?

I started this blog to share my personal reflections as I read through the book "The Purpose Driven Life" by Rick Warren. I started reading about a month or so ago and writing a personal reflection after each day of the 40 day journey. The more I wrote, the more fun I thought it would be to share my reflections with others. Each post will have the day and title from the book and the date that I read and wrote it. I hope you enjoy my insights and feel free to post some of your own. Thank you and God Bless!

DAY 4 - June 17, 2010: "Made to Last Forever"

Point to Ponder: The is more to life than just here and now.

Question to Consider: Since I was made to last forever, what is the one thing I should stop doing and the one thing I should start doing today?

I can only think to answer the question at the end of the chapter: "What should I STOP doing and what should I START doing today?" I need to STOP worry and stress in my life! My worldly, everyday worries and stresses bind me at times, and keep me from focusing on the Big Picture! I need to give it all to God and act with faith. All I can do is walk in faith, and trust in God to provide care. It's his plan, not mine. Less worrying, more praying. Stress, worry and fear mean a lack of trust in the Lord. It seems the right answers are always easier to find with a Godly perspective. Not that it is always easy to act Godly in an un-Godly world. But, fear is no excuse when it comes to your place in eternity. I need to LIVE OUT LOUD with my faith and carry His light with me down every path I tread.

This world is fading away, along with everything it craves. But if you do the will of God, you will live forever. (1 John 2:17 [New Living Translation])
