How We Choose to Live Our Lives
This past Sunday we looked at the fact that for every one of us we are living with summation of life that is ‘Two Dates & A Dash.’ Some day when we stand before God we will not have to give an explanation for the two dates, but we will have to give one for the dash. How did we live our lives.
We can live it for the Splash—seeking to make a big impression and to gain a sense of significance—but that will result in disappointment for life is more than the trinkets we pick up. We can live our life for the Flash—seeking to get involved with the next big event, trend, or phenomenon hoping that it will make us excited about life—but this approach only give us a temporary buzz. Yet, as we noted in the life of Zaccheus life is really to be viewed as the Stash for it is so valuable that we must give it God’s value and invest it in eternity (Luke 19:1—6).
Are you viewing life as Stash? Are you seeking to let God have as much of it as He can in order to maximize your investment? A quick indicator of how well you’re doing is to answer the question “Did I ask the Lord to guide me so that I would give Him a chance to act in everything I did and said today?” If you didn’t pray this prayer at the beginning of the day, it is not too late.
