3. Inspiration
Where do you get your inspiration for living? In some ways, what inspires us also determines who we are!
The Bible is quite possibly one of the most untapped sources of inspiration that I can think of. The word of God is alive. It is active! It is able to move. . . and to move us!
It inspires us to question what we see and hear. . .
“The wisdom of this world is foolishness in God’s sight.”
- 1 Corinthians 3:19
It inspires us to live with a purpose. . .
“I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me.”
- Galatians 2:20a
It inspires us to live with compassionate cooperation. . .
“Be completely humble and gentle; be patient, bearing with one another in love.”
- Ephesians 4:2
It inspires us to seek the living, loving God of the universe. . .
“I love those who love me, and those who seek me find me.”
- Proverbs 8:17
The next time you need a little inspiration (or a lot!). I hope you’ll consider reading God’s word!
Neil, That was a very uplifting and encouraging post. Thank you.
It is amazing how many Christians are spending money on self-help literature. Some of it is good and positive reading; others are just trite and cliche. Much of the hype is fueld by Oprah.
Oprah has nothing on the Bible, though!
