​TWELVE ESSENTIAL QUESTIONS FOR THE PATH OF LIFE

Picture

QUESTION 10

AM I USING ALL GOD HAS GIVEN ME TO SERVE HIM AND OTHERS?

HABITS


TRY IT

  • Start giving according to Grace Giving principles this week!

EXPERIENCE IT

  • Do a personal inventory. In a few minutes, scribble a list of all the stuff you own. Then list all the opportunities you have. Now list what you’re good at––all your gifts, skills, abilities. Ask God: “How should I use all you’ve given me to please you and promote your purposes?”

  • Keep track for one week of everything you do in one hour intervals. After 168 hours (1 week), assess your life. Apart from sleep and work, what filled your time? How much time did you invest in recreational pursuits––watching TV, looking at the internet or Facebook, going to sporting events? How much time did you set time aside to pray, or read the Scriptures, or serve, or worship?

  • Intentionally look for ways to serve someone every day for 30 days
