Are you and am I living a DIY life? This day, December 27, 2015 is a good time to contemplate just what kind of life and legacy we are building. As far as it is up to us, our lives have a certain amount and type of content; a direction and focus.
How successful is our Do It Yourself life? Recalling that the "unexamined life is not worth living...". Let's ask ourselves some questions:
1. How has my belief that everything depends upon me affected how I think, speak and act?
2. Is it actually true that everything in my life depends on me?
3. What does scripture say about the self-made life? (Prov.3:4-5, "Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding. In all your ways, acknowledge Him and He will direct your paths.")
4. Is it our culture or our God who teaches us to value self-determination and self-reliance as paramount virtues?
5. Where is there room in my life for dependence upon God, His strength, His help and guidance?
6. How many of my decisions would change if I made them prayerfully and ask myself if this choice gives God glory or not?
Let's think over how we are going top live going forward. With the help of self or dependent on God? This choice sets the course for the future. Doma
About Me
- Doma
- An honest Seeker who has found peace and security in believing Jesus Christ is who He says He is. I actually am a good listener, so talk to me.Strong opinions based on scripture and life experience are what you will read here. Even so, I am open to other view points, wanting to study the validity and motivation behind them and compare them to the light of scripture and to my own perspective. Learning when to take correction and when to stand my ground is often a challenge, but I am working on it! I have a strong love for people and do not want even one to be lost and without Jesus.
