Regret #NoRegret
Likewise today, some Christians are content to merely exist until they die. They don't want to risk anything, to believe God, to grow or mature. They refuse to believe his Word, and have become hardened in their unbelief. Now they're living just to die. David Wilkerson
We want to be BOLD enough to step out, to live without regrets or hindrances. This type of life requires, accessing critically, living intentionally, and being fearless; these ingredients are essential.
Accessing critically is NOT leaving your sense, instincts, wisdom, discernment, intelligence, or knowledge behind when you view situations. It is being sober in thought, allowing yourself to know the truth of a situation before taking calculated risks.
Pro 24:16 NASB For a righteous man falls seven times, and rises again…
Living intentionally is taking control of what you can control and being responsible for the success, failure, change or maintenance that is required. JOY is grown in these duties as momentum and strengthen is build upon the good decisions which are learned to be made.
Being fearless allows courage to outweigh failure, the unforeseen, and lack of control. Fearlessness measures the cost of the risk by faith and discernment. The cost for risk is paid in courage, action, and trusting in God. #paytherisk
2Sa 24:24 NIV But the king replied to Araunah, “No, I insist on paying you for it. I will not sacrifice to the LORD my God burnt offerings that cost me nothing.” So David bought the threshing floor and the oxen and paid fifty shekels of silver for them.
This list is essential yet, not comprehensive, in the beauty of God is there is always more to grow into. #keeppressingon #maturity #keepgrowing
Phl 3:12-14 NASB Not that I have already obtained all this, or have already arrived at my goal, but I press on to take hold of that for which Christ Jesus took hold of me. Brothers and sisters, I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus
