The Captivity of Activity

Posted by herschelthompson on November 11, 2008

Great staff chapel this morning with Brooke on restructuring our crazy life schedule towards doing everything for the glory of God (1 Cor 10:31/Col 3:23).  I’m guilty of trying to do too much because of lots of reasons, but the result is that nothing gets done really to the ‘glory of God’.  Here’s the big 4 restructuring ideas…

1. Reestablish the Goal – our purpose is to glorify God

2. Redirecting Your Focus – asking God for what’s on His heart daily vs. bringing your ToDo list to Him.

3. Rethink Your Motivation – trying to please God or men?

4. Rest in God’s Will – “STRESS is caused by taking ourselves too seriously, or not taking God seriously enough.”

* Focus with me today on resting in His will and simply doing a FEW THINGS “to the glory of God.”
