I have a couple of
thoughts:
Thought number
one! What am I doing to strengthen
myself spiritually? If you're reading
this you probably go to church on Sundays, and that's good. It’s real good and I strongly encourage it. Sunday worship is like getting a spiritual
infusion that seems to give you that boost that you need to face another week.
You're wise to go to church because you recognize that living spiritually isn’t
the easiest thing to do. So kudos to
you. But, let's face it -- if you really
want to be a spiritual stud you're going to need more than an hour or two. So,
what else are you doing to get spiritually stronger? What daily disciplines do you have in place
to supplement what we're doing on Sunday morning? I could tell you what to do, but really you
need to decide because only you know and only you choose what you are going to
do! Doing almost always is preceded by a
question, so ask yourself the question, "What am I doing to strengthen
myself spiritually?"
Thought number two -
What am I doing to serve others? Most
people are selfish. I don’t know why but
selfishness seems to be rampant in human beings. Perhaps we suppose that someone has to look
out for number one and who better to do that than me! Jesus taught the exact opposite and trusting
that Jesus knew a thing or two about abundant life, I think we ought to give
his plan a try. Making ourselves last
and becoming a servant to others are two essential ingredients in Jesus'
formula for abundant life. It stands to
reason that if I make myself first and look to others to serve me then my
recipe for life is messed up. So you need
to ask yourself, "What am I doing to serve others?"
Well, that's a couple
of things to think about.
