I saw this question yesterday and thought it would be a good one to pass along.
What are you doing today that will outlive you?
That’s a pretty good motivator – assuming you are leaving a legacy that impacts others in a positive way!
Anyway, think about that today as you go.
18 Even when I am old and gray,
do not forsake me, my God,
till I declare your power to the next generation,
your mighty acts to all who are to come. Psalm 71:18 New International Version (NIV)
On of the great things about the new year is that there is a wealth of motivational material published. Earlier this week I saw this poster on designMilk.
So, what are you going to do today, that you would normally have put off. Don’t let 2013 roll around and find you still in the same spot. Start – Today.
15 As has just been said:
“Today, if you hear his voice,
do not harden your hearts
as you did in the rebellion.” Hebrews 3:15 New International Version (NIV)
Its good to be back home, where you know the only nastiness on the remote is your own nastiness. This week has left me a little brain dead, so I have a simple thought to share this morning. Last week I finally finished Crazy Love by Francis Chan. This sentence has stuck with me:
I concur with Annie Dillard, who once said, “How we live our day is…. how we live our lives.” We each need to discover for ourselves how to live this day in faithful surrender to God as we “continue to work out [our] salvation with fear and trembling”(Philippians 2:12).
I agree as well. And that’s why its important to focus on your days, for they comprise your life. And that’s also why I think vacations are good. They allow you to step away from your day and evaluate if they are adding up to the life you want. Next week I will be doing that, and there may be some guest bloggers keeping the buffetting going.
13But encourage one another daily, as long as it is called Today, so that none of you may be hardened by sin’s deceitfulness. (Hebrews 3:13 (New International Version))
