Wed, 6 December 2006 ![]() "What defines your life, obligations or opportunities?" Think about this question awhile............is your life defined by obligations, things you have to do because you have no choice, or by opportunities? Did you know that Webster defines "opportunities" as "a favorable juncture of circumstances......... a good chance for progress "When we live through the "lens" of obligations.........we do just what is required ............we focus on all the energy we expend and the time that we spend to get there. When we live through the "lens" of opportunity, we act with strength, joy and determination, because opportunities are fulfilling by the vary nature of the definition. I would note here that as I study the life of our Lord and Savior, Jesus lived a life of opportunity, not obligation. Additionally, "If we were to focus on God instead of ourselves, what would it look like?" I believe that we can gain insight into both these questions and their answers in the story of Jesus feeding the 5000 found in the Gospel of Luke, chapter 9, verses 10-17. Comments[0] |
