Sowing Seeds by Living the Kingdom Life

If you could go back, re-live your life, and make either the same choices or different choices what would you do?

Think about it, as right outside in the DAC carpark sits a Delorean. You may have missed it on your way in. No, you cannot get up and go and have a look, you will have to wait until church finishes. Of course, it may be too late by then, as it may have already left. Choices! What to do.

Choices are like that, there are the really big ones, like buying a house or getting married or moving for a job, but each day we are making hundreds and hundreds of choices. From what time do I get up, what do I have for breakfast, what do I have to get done today, when do I leave home to get to that appointment and on and on. More often than not, most of the decisions and choices we make are pretty easy. However, at other times our choices require reflection and wisdom and often the counsel of others.

Trust in the LORD with all your heart; and lean not on your own understanding;
In all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight. (Proverbs 3:5-6).

Henry T. Blackaby once, “God doesn’t want people to do what they think is best; he wants them to do what they know is best, and no amount of reasoning and intellectualising will discover that.”

Throughout our sermon series called “How Shall We Live” we will be confronted by many choices and their implications. As we all face the future, I wonder what is on our mind? Will we make decisions that actually demonstrate that we are truly placing kingdom values first? Or will we carry on as if it does not matter what we do, who we are becoming or the attitudes that we all carry? No doubt, time will tell.
