What Matters

Question to think about: What will you do that matters for more than a moment?

We can become so consumed with the stuff of life that we fail to recognize what really matters.
Looking back on our life often brings clarity.
Things that seemed so important often hold little or no significance in the long-term.

What counts in the long term?
The thing is . . . we have been shown.
The truth . . . the reality of life . . . has been revealed.
Christ, God with us, came revealing what really matters.


So, what really matters?

Quite simply . . . living a life directed by the Spirit of Christ.

13 Look here, you who say, “Today or tomorrow we are going to a certain town and will stay there a year. We will do business there and make a profit.” 14 How do you know what your life will be like tomorrow? Your life is like the morning fog—it’s here a little while, then it’s gone. 15 What you ought to say is, “If the Lord wants us to, we will live and do this or that.” (James 4:13-15, NLT).

Stop.
Refuse to do something without the leading of the Spirit of God.
Ask the Spirit of God to guide and direct you in every detail of life.
Do what matters in and through the power of Christ.

Learning with you to do what matters,
