Who Is My Source?

It was a joy to be back at Central yesterday. Let me just challenge you again as you start this week with the last point of my message yesterday. What is filling up that God-shaped hole in your life? What are you trying to fit in there in an attempt to gain affirmation, joy, peace, love, acceptance, forgiveness, hope, or life? Alcoholics are looking for it. Drug addicts are searching for it. Even middle class soccer moms are trying to fill that void with something. Who is your source?

Things can never fill that void; it's a person. Only God can fill that whole because he is the only puzzle piece that fits. If you're single, you're not going to feel complete just because you get married. If your married and you're waiting for your spouse to complete you spiritually and emotionally, unfortunately, it's just not going to happen that way. Real hope, real life, real joy, and real fulfillment only comes from one place; God! What is your source today? Tap into a new source this week!

"Lord, we claim you as our source today. We need your affirmation this week. Whisper into our hearts just how much you love us and how valuable we are to you. AMEN!"

***Note: Here are the links to the two devotional books I mentioned yesterday in service.

Day 22

The past 22 day have given me a lot of time to think. This is going to be a short blog today because it's really going to be finished by you. Let me give you a few questions to ask yourself then you complete it for me.

5 years ago, where did you expect yourself to be today?

What do you hate most about your life right now? Be specific.

What do you love most about your life right now? (Not spouse or kids)

Where do you see yourself physically & spiritually 5 years from today?

If you can ask and answer these questions within the context of understanding God has plans for your life, you just might be able to reach your God-potential. If you aren't where you expected to be 5 years ago, then why not? What do you need to change?

The Packers began training camp this week. The winner of the Superbowl is being decided right now. It's all decided in the planning stages and the preparation. It's often the smallest decisions we make that launch us toward achieving the final goal.

Think about that today....
