The way you view life has a significant affect upon your spiritual walk.
HOW DO YOU SEE?
It's easy to get so busy that you don't have a clear sense of just where you are in your life. You push on through life merely to accomplish your daily tasks.
Whether we realize it or not, we all approach life and reality from a certain point of view. And, how we see things has a significant impact on how we live out our lives.
How Do You See...?
Your Time (Eccl 3:1-13). Are you in control of your time, or controlled by schedules? Are you pressed for time, or have time on your hands? Do you dwell mostly on the past, present, or future?
People (Pro 18:24). Are your family relationships satisfying or strained? Are your friendships meaningful or superficial? Is your social life a pleasure or a burden?
"Things" (1 Tim 6:6-10, 17-19; Lk 12:13-21). How important are material things to you? Are you in pursuit of something or somethings you really don't need? Do you not feel satisfied until you've acquired material things.
Your Spiritual Life (Psa 1:1-6). Do you allow enough quiet time to reflect on what's meaningful for you? Do you feel a gap between your internal life and the life you're living? Are you at peace with your core Christian values and beliefs?
The great Albert Einstein once said, "There is more to life than increasing its speed." We ought to slow down and make time to think over the current state of our lives. Is it truly fulfilling or not? Does it reflect the things that are most valuable to the Lord? Or are you simply accomplishing your tasks and missing out on all the precious joys God has provided for you?
Life is too short and has its share of struggles. We ought to enjoy life despite its many difficulties (Eccl 2:24; 3:12-13; 5:18-20). And we ought to keep in mind the fact that one day we will have to give an account to God for the way we've lived our lives (Rom 14:10-12; 2 Cor 5:10).
