Read James 1:22-25

A few years ago, I was on a trip with a large group of like 30 people. One day, part of the group was going to ride dune buggies. I passed and stayed back with a group of other people. When the other group got back, all they could say was “you guys missed it!” I had missed out on a really neat opportunity because I wasn’t willing to give it a shot. Unless you actually give something a shot, you won’t know what you are missing out on. There are things in like that we will miss out on unless we stop some of the things we’ve been doing in our life.

God has an amazing plan for you. God has so much for you to do, and He has so many great experiences in store for you. But, there are so many ways we can rob ourselves of the life God has for us. Anything from bad health habits, allowing work or other things to get in the way of your relationship with God or coming between you and the most important people in your life. Imagine all that you will miss out on if you don’t stop.

What bad habits do you have in your life? What are you doing today that is going to keep you from experiencing the life God wants for you in the future? You won’t know what you’re missing unless you stop.]]>
