Live The Abundant Life

• Feb. 6, 2006 - A Great Quote - His Prompting

Posted in A Great Quote

When we throw ourselves into religious activities without having made our life onr of prayer, we run into danger. Our days and nights are filled with teaching or printing a newsletter, working in an outreach program or a food bank. We feel we are doing the Lord's work, and perhaps we are. But we will never know unless we take the time to listen to his voice and be certain we are following his promptings and not ambitious ones that start in self. We mus always ask ourselves whether we are working to please God or to satisfy our own need for acheiving results. Judith C. Lechman
Ouch... I think that one bumped something that hurts!
