Personal Reflection

My new goal this year, or a new years resolution as come people call it, was to live every day as if Jesus was coming back tomorrow. As I have been try to gauge how I am doing with this goal and thinking about my life as a lover of Jesus, I have tried to come up with personal questions I can ask myself. I have found 10 questions I ask myself each day as I try and reflect how I am doing in my walk with Christ and living as if each day is my last. Some of the questions I  have come up with and some I have taken from random sources as I have been reading. Here are the 10 questions I reflect on.

1. Am I spending time slowly reading God’s word and memorizing Scripture?

2. Am I having consistent, focused, extended times of prayer, including interceding for others?

3. Am I disciplined in my use of technology, in particular not getting distracted by emails and blogging in the evening and on my days off?

4. Am I getting enough rest and down time?

5. How has my eating habits been today?

6. Have I exercised in the last week?

7. Am I patient with my kids or am I angry with them when they disobey or behave in childish ways?

8. Where is my focus when I am with my family?

9. Is my study time focused enough on God or am I distracted and not fully in tune?

10. Have I done anything out of the ordinary to cherish and help my wife?

I have discovered that reflecting on my day and last few hours over some of these issues helps me understand where I need to grow. Some of these questions are not necessary spiritual but all of them are connect to the state of my spirit and walk with God. I pray that some of these questions help you as you walk with God each day to.
