The future is unpredictable and unknowable, but it is shapable. The way we shape the future is with the present.
I shared the following six questions and challenged people to take some time and answer these questions this week. (A quick disclaimer: I learned these questions from David Platt and thought they were so good that they should be reshared.)
- How will I fill my mind with truth? This has to do with Bible reading, meditation and memorization.
- How will I fuel my affections for God? You were created to have a love relationship with God. Here are some sub questions to ask:
- How will I worship?
- How will I pray?
- How will I fast?
- How will I give?
- How will I live, work, play, eat, and drink to the glory of God?
- How will I share God's love as a witness in the world?
- How will I show God's love as a member of a church?
- How will I spread Jesus' name and fame around the world? This involves praying, giving and going.
- How will I disciple a few people in 2015?
Spend some time working through these questions this week. The answers you discover and put into practice will shape your future.
