There is something special about LENT. I truly believe that being intentional about our preparation for Easter makes a massive difference in our spiritual lives and I wonder if you feel the same way?
Over the course of the next 6 weeks, I am going to be reflecting on a number of questions that Jesus asks his followers. One would be surprised at home many questions Jesus actually asks of us and each one of them is equally profound.
At our Ash Wednesday service, I reminded us of the question that Jesus posed to his followers (in Mark 8:36):
"What good is it for a man to gain the whole world, yet forfeit his soul?"
This deeply challenging question slowly opens up our hearts to divulge where we are spending all our time and energy at the moment. What is getting us up in the morning?
Am I spending my life in pursuit of "things" at the expense of nurturing my spiritual life?
If I aim to gain the world and stand on top of the mountain with my arms in triumphant victory, who else will be standing alongside me?
Where is God in my plans and life at the moment?
If you would like to listen to a short audio Bible Study on this question, you are welcome to listen on this link.

Eish, Delme! Yes, we are always in pursuit. We think we're after God's plans for us; however, we have scant ideas about what we want to do for God.
"Where is God in my plans and life at the moment?" Well you may ask my Buddy! Only God knows; best we be 'still' and LISTEN!...
