Measure What Matters

Measure What Matters

It doesn't take long to figure out that the world is full of different views and opinions. We don't always agree on what's important or on what matters the most. We don't all see the "good life" in quite the same way. 

This results in using different ways of measuring success. Some people look at the outward and tangible assets as measuring sticks; things like money, homes, cars, and such. Others look at the inward and intangible rewards; things like status, satisfaction, contentment, and so on.

What is your scorecard? What do you see as being of greatest value? How are you measuring the outcomes of your life?

I want to challenge you with these words from Peter the Apostle. In Second Peter 3:18 he ends his letter like this; But grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.....

I think that sums things up pretty well. In all of our coming and going, in all of our plans and pursuits, let's prioritize growing in the knowledge and likeness of Jesus.

When the dust settles and we come to end of the road, how will we determine if we had a life well-lived? There are many ways to answer that question, but I suggest that we uphold pursuing Christ-likeness as our standard.

Let's live out our years by measuring what matters. Let's endeavor to become more like Jesus. That's what Empower NBCA School of Ministry is all about. Helping you walk a path of continuous growth and learning in pursuit of who and what matters most.
