Today we continue thinking about how we can be intentional about making spiritual progress in our life. What will you consistently do to move forward in your spiritual life?

 

Welcome to Run With Horses! My name is Norman and my goal is to help you thrive as a follower of Jesus. There are lots of moving parts to the journey but our foundation is built on the solid Rock. Keep your eyes on the prize and keep making steps forward on your spiritual journey.

 

Last Week we looked at our main priorities. I listed a few I think are required to be near the top for everyone. They were:

Here are a few non-negotiables as I understand them.

God must be first.

Exodus 20:2-3 –

(See Luke 10 Mary and Martha Example, Jesus over serving others.)

 

Character Counts.

Romans 5:3-5 –

 

Galatians 5:22-26 –

 

Our Relationships Matter, A Lot.

 

1 Cor. 6:1-11 –

 

Eph. 2:1-3 –

 

I often think about relationships and how important they are by considering all the different relationship that God has given us.

Relationship With God

Relationship With Spouse

Relationship With Children

Relationship with the Church Family

Relationship with the Unbeliever

 

 

I asked the question a few shows ago, What will you prioritize and pursue in your life?

 

You have a lot to think through here. What place does God have in your life? What place should he have?

 

Work in important. How important is it? What comes before work?

PART 2

Family, health, community relationships and responsibilities, etc. How do you judge how much time to give each one of these?

 

Ok, you will do something every day. Maybe only spend too much time scrolling through your facebook or Instagram but it’s still something.

 

The big question in life for many of us seems to be , what will I do with my time? After work and taking care of urgent needs, how do you choose what to do with your life?

 

It’s not my intent to get too wrapped up in the big questions today, Why am I here? Etc. But you can’t shy away from those questions if you want to live life well.

 

Assuming we are on the same page and you accept that God is there, He really does care for you and He really is dong something in your life as well as the world around you..

 

How did God make you unique? What gifts has He given and How do they fit into what God is doing in the world and in your church?

 

Bible reading – learning Who God is and what He is doing

Prayer – chewing on how that Truth relates to How HE made me

Community – spending time pursuing meaningful relationships that center on Who God is and what He is doing.

 

As you work on your top priorities in life of Pursuing God, developing the character of Christ in your life and building healthy Jesus centered relationships – you should consider what actions you will need to consistently pursue over time to do well at each of these.

 

You want to develop a plan but you have to start with the ideas. Brainstorming how to practically live out the life God has for you.
