Old news is Good News

Here is a quoit from Rick Warren’s, The Purpose Driven Life …

It’s not about you. The purpose of your life is far greater than your own personal fulfillment, your peace of mind, or even your happiness. It’s far greater than your family, your career, or even your wildest dreams and ambitions. If you want to know why you were placed on this planet, you must begin with God.

Here are some thoughts from another blog I read this morning ...

In James 4:13-14, we see that our life is short, that life is brief, and that it is up to us to make the most of it for God. On page 42, Chan gives us definitions for stress and worry. “Worry implies that we don’t quite trust that God is big enough, or powerful enough, or loving enough to take care of what’s happening in our lives. Stress says that the things we are involved in are important enough to merit our impatience, our lack of grace toward others, or out tight grip of control.”

So the question ... How much are you worrying and stressing about things that aren’t important in life. God is directing the best moving ever ... our role is an extra in the story and we only appear for a split-second. We are not the star! We are not the center of the whole universe?

Frances Chang in his book "Crazy Love" says this ...“Friends, we need to stop living selfish lives, forgetful of our God.”

Have a Great Day
