Reflecting On Verses 1-4…

Assuming that waiting patiently before the Lord is a part of
the growth process for my life as a believer, I might ask:

“Am I waiting patiently for the Lord as I should… or am I
trusting less and worrying more than necessary?”

___________________
Reflecting On Verse 5…

Realizing that seeing the wonders of God throughout the days
of my life should always be a part of my life, I might ask:

“How am I doing at seeing the things I should be seeing
while I still have time to see them?”

Reflecting On Verses 6-8…

Knowing that the desires of my heart should match the
desires of God’s heart, I might ask:

“Am I continuing to take on the life-long task of putting my
heart in the right place, at the right time, for all of
God’s right reasons?”

___________________
Reflecting On Verses 9-12,17…

Realizing that love, truth, and complete openness before the
Lord should find their way into my life on a regular basis,
I might ask:

“Am I sharing good things about the good God I know while
being open enough to share the junk I don’t want anyone to
know with the God who knows it all anyway?”

Reflecting On Verses 13-16

Understanding that it’s okay to lay all I’m feeling before
the Lord while striving to lift him up in all areas of my
life, I might ask:

“Am I sharing my pain and frustrations with the Lord while
at the same time being careful to enjoy him whenever and
however I can… with his help?”

Are you making it easy for others to help?

Hi,

I wrote my interns these questions today and thought
it would be a good post here.

Enjoy,

Lee

“Are you making it as easy as you can for others to help
you?”

Said in another way:  are you helping others be of a help to
you?

1.  Do people know your expectations?

2.  Have you given them enough “authority” to help you?

3.  Are you stating things clearly?

4.  Are you giving them enough time in advance?

5.  Have you asked the right people — i.e. do they your
expectations in terms of interest and ability?

6.  Have you even asked anyone to help?  Are you allowing
the “I don’t want to bother them” plague to grab your mind
and possibly prevent them from having the blessing of
accomplishing God’s goals through you?

Just something to get you thinkin’,

Lee
