Finding My Place in This World

Last night at Sunday in the Park we discussed some questions:

• What risk has God speaking to you about lately?
• What is the worst thing that could happen if you take that risk and fail?
• What is the best thing that could happen if you take that risk and succeed?
• What barriers stand in the way of you reaching the potential that God has in mind for you?
• What passages in the Bible speak to your situation?

Today, I had these thoughts about taking risks for the glory of God:

• Don’t let fear make your decisions.
• Don’t let worry make your decisions.
• Don’t let discouragement make your decisions.
• Don't let loneliness make your decisions. 
• Don’t let a bad mood make your decisions.
• Don’t let an angry mood make your decisions. 
• Don’t let stress make your decisions. 
• Don’t let pride make your decisions. 
• Don’t let unfounded guilt make your decisions.
• Don’t let controlling people make your decisions.
• With God's help, make your own wise decisions!

Dreams

Hold fast to dreams
For if dreams die
Life is a broken-winged bird
That cannot fly.
Hold fast to dreams
For when dreams go
Life is a barren field
Frozen with snow.

- Langston Hughes

This week at Sunday in the Park

 

You are a piece of work...

I had this thought while preparing for my "Sunday in the Park" Bible study talk last Sunday:

You are a piece of work...
...but you are still on God's workbench because He's not finished with you yet.

You are a work of art...
...but you are still on God's easel because there are quite a few more brush strokes left to be added by the Great Artist.

You are an epic poem...
...It may seem like your life has no rhyme or reason at times, but the last stanzas are yet to be written by the Great Story-teller.

- Craig Henry

These thoughts are based on Ephesians 2:10.

For we are God's handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.   (NIV)

For we are God’s masterpiece. He has created us anew in Christ Jesus, so we can do the good things he planned for us long ago.   (NLT)

For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand so that we would walk in them.  (NASB)
