40 DAYS OF PURPOSE
Chapter Thirty-Nine: Balancing Your Life
Main idea: We must keep a balance in our lives - living out each of the five purposes all the time.
Most impactful verse: "Test yourselves to make sure you are solid in the faith. Don't drift along taking everything for granted. Give yourselves regular checkups.... Test it out. If you fail the test, do something about it. (2 Corinthians 13:5 MSG)"
Most impactful concept: The best way to balance the five purposes in your life is to evaluate yourself regularly.
Other thoughts: Test ourselves....definitely Biblical - and we should do it with an ability to see both the negative and the positive things in our lives, otherwise we will get discouraged when we only see the things that are not as they should be. Here's a thought: let's ask God regularly what we're doing that pleases Him and what we could do that would please Him more.
