Which Way Are You Looking?
You and I are born to aspire. Throughout our lives we will either hear or have heard inspirational statements such as . . .
a. Reach for the stars.
b. Be all that you can be.
c. Spread your wings and fly.
d. Dream big.
Each of these has within them a mindset or focus and a determination to succeed.
However, the flaw in each exists in . . .
a. That upon which we focus.
b. Our definition of success.
Inspired by the Holy Spirit, Paul tells us that our new life in Christ is an active life, not a passive one — we don’t relax and “turn it all over to God.” He sets before us an essential focus, a powerful reason for such ambition and its ultimate outcome.
