Today’s chapter is a bit of a warning about moving into this journey and simply focusing on white knuckling the outward appearance of transformation.
The chapter introduces the topics for the next three days. VIM
Vision: Where am I headed
Intention: The recognition that this stuff doesn’t just happen.
Means: What are some of the tools to make it happen.
All three of these factors become important as we focus on the ongoing work in our lives.
The most groundbreaking part of today’s chapter isn’t really the content, but the realizations that might come from “Today’s Experiment.”
Sometimes great questions lead can give us the direction we need. Consider these….
What things would you like to see changed in your life?
What is my inner life like?
How has that helped or hindered me?
Tell God what you’d like to be on the inside and what would you like for your relationship with him to be like?
Today isn’t really about external content, rather a look inside. Give yourself some space for this to feel awkward. I think if Leah (my wife) and I to have the same conversation just out of the blue would also be a little awkward. But it would have some great use… after the shock of the questions wore off!!
