Easter.
They heard the
message and asked Christ to come in to their life.
Now what?
What do we do the day after Easter?
It is too easy to be preoccupied with
things that seem important and miss what more God has . . . living with the
purpose God has planted deep within the heart . . . in the power that has been
gifted to us.
Of course it means that we must be
willing to live outside of the box, freed from the schedule, ready for whoever
and whatever God sends our way.
The thing is . . . preoccupation . . . will define our life if we allow it. There is a fragile line between focus and preoccupation.
How we see life . . . our perception . . . is crucial to being focused on God rather than being preoccupied with stuff . . . being ready for God to break in.
Developing perception through faith is crucial: Faith is the confidence that what we hope for will actually happen; it gives us assurance about things we cannot see. Hebrews 11:1, NLT
So.
We must intentionally refuse to be preoccupied with the stuff of life in order to see with faith that God is
Reality. Purpose. Meaning. Power.
Be ready for God to break in to your
day . . . every day.
Learning with you to KICK START
the day . . . ready rather than preoccupied.
