ChristopherPaul,
What life transformation were you looking for?
Did you ponder and seriously consider each question asked?
Did you allow God to work in your heart as you read through each chapter?
Or were you looking for a quick fix of a specific issue?
Did you ponder:
"I am not an accident" Isaiah 44:2
Living on purpose is the path to peace Isaiah 26:3
There is more to life than just here and now 1 John 2:17
Life is a test and a trust Luke 16:10
This world is not my home. 2 Cor. 4:18
It's all for Him Romans 11:36
Did you really consider the questions based on your relationship with Christ and your walk with God? :
I know that God uniquely created me. What areas of my personality, background, and physical appearance am I struggling to accept?
What iwould my family and friends say is the driving force of MY life? What do I want it to be?
Since I was made to last forever, what is one thing I should stop doing and the one things I should start doing today?
How should the fact that life on earth is just a temporary assignment change the way I am living right now?
What common task could I start doing as if I were doing it directly for Jesus?
Since God knows what is best, in what areas of my life do I need to trust Him most?
What area of my life am I holding back from God?
What practical choices will I make today in order to grow Closer to God?
How can I start treating other believers like members of my own family?
Does my level of involvement in my local church demonstrate that I love and am committed to God's family?
What one step can I take today to connect with another believer at a more genuine heart to heart level?
Who do I need to restore a broken relationship with today?
What am I personally doing to protect unity in my church family now?
What is one area where I need to stop thinking MY WAY and start thinking God's way?
Those are just a few of the points to ponder and questions that we are challenged to ask ourselves in this book.
So did you really at heart level ponder and think about those things asking God to search your heart and to show you areas He is wanting you to make changes in your life? These are not surface type questions, these need to be seriously considered and meditated on. As the Psalmist says "I meditate on your word day and night." meaning I think about it, I ponder it, I ask God to show me the truth about it. I desire deeply to know the answers to these questions. Did you do that? Or did you only look at them on the surface and not dig deeper for answers?
