Get the Most Out of Your Life
We should consider the brevity of life and the need to seize the day. Today is mine!
Consider three actions to get the most out of life.
1. Priortize - Determine what really matters most and define our purpose for living.
2. Organize - Organize our schedule according to our life's purpose.
3. Minimize - If it doesn't work towards my life's purpose, then I'm wasting my time.
Wasted Time = Wasted Life
Let us consider also the Power of Our Words.
Proverbs 18:21 and James 3:3-5
Five ways we can sink our ship
a. Gossip - is always negative. Proverbs 26:22; Provervs 16:28; Proverbs 26:20-23
b. Lying - has pervaded our very culture down to the core. Proverbs 12:22; Proverbs 21:6
c. Slander - Proverbs 25:23; Psalms 52:2; Proverbs 12:18; 1 Peter 3:10; Psalm 15:1-3
d. Flattery - is a trap. Psalm 29:5; Proverbs 28:23
e. Argumentative Speech - Proverbs 18:2; 1 Peter 3:10-11; Proverbs 15:1
Two actions we need to take to get the most out of our life.
1. Refrain: from the five ways we can sink our ship that are listed above. Psalm 39:1; Proverbs 17:27-28
2. Bless (and not curse): James 3:6-10; 1 Thessalonians 5:11
