I’m very reflective this time of year…
As we head into a New Year, I considering if my life is achieving the things of greatest value…
One way I’m doing that is asking myself some self-evaluation questions…
For example…
Am I more concerned about:
- My clothes or my character?
- What others think of me or what God thinks of me?
- My success or my influence?
- Having fun or making a difference?
- Making a quick and easy return or a creating a long term investment?
- Gaining instant pleasure or producing eternal rewards?
- My personal safety or my obedience to God’s will?
- Being loved or loving well?
- My happiness or enhancing the happiness of others?
- The worries I can manufacture or having a faith in One I can’t control?
- My popularity with the rich and famous or a relationship with my Creator?
- My bank account or making a Kingdom impact with what God has given me?
Sometimes it is not a matter of good or bad, but of good or best…
In 2011…let’s be concerned about things of greater value…
What else could you add to my list of questions?
