The Power of Reflectionಮಾದರಿ

I Think So…

Ready:

 “I will study your commandments and reflect on your ways.” – Psalm 119:15

Set: 

In the coaching world today, I don’t see much reflection time anymore. We seem to consume every waking moment trying to find yet another way to win. But we end up losing so much as a result. Mostly, we lose that precious time that we could spend reflecting on Jesus as He conforms us into His image. It takes lots of time with Jesus to develop godly depth.

If we truly want to live the life God intended for us, we need to look no further than Jesus’ example of devoting time and energy to intentionally connecting with His Father. While He was certainly a man of action, surrounded by stimuli and distraction, He often slipped away to reflect on His Father’s will, and that diligence energized Him powerfully.

Like Jesus, when we reflect on the Word of God and His will, He will empower us to be men and women of action, filled with His timing, touch, and the right emotion.

It is absolutely essential for every one of us to spend daily time with God reflecting, thinking, pondering and meditating on His Word, His will and His world—the Kingdom of God. That time will be the foundation of powerful and wise action for us in the “temple” of the sports world. – Ron Brown

Go:

1. Take an honest look at your day and week, how much free time do you have? What are you doing with that time?

2. How you prioritizing time on the things of this world compared to time spent in communion with God?

3. Pray that God would reveal to you how to prioritize time for and with Him and that it would lead to deeper communion with Him. 

Workout: 

Psalm 34:8; Psalm 119:55-56; James 1:22-25

Overtime: 

Father, my time on this Earth is in Your hands. Please give me a heart and passion to seek You first. And, allow that time spent with You to deepen my relationship with You and, in turn, impact the rest of my life and relationship for good. Amen.
