These 3 Things – > Matters of the Heart: How to Look at Life Situations & the Aspects of Sin Therein

Challenge:

  • First, look at the spaces you occupy, being mindful of both your internal and external state of mind.

  • Second, look at all that is going on around you from a micro to a macro level.

  • Third, ask yourself these three questions, concerning the situation you find yourself in, the situation you silently tolerate, and/or the situation you willingly accept or allow, as it relates to self.

Question 1:

What would Jesus do?

(Translation: How would Jesus react or respond to what is going on? What did He, in fact, do when dealing with a situation like yours? What did He teach His disciples to do, based on the Word of GOD?)

–

Question 2:

What would Jesus say?

(Translation: What would Jesus have to say about the circumstance you find yourself in? Do you really think He would be speaking in the manner in which you are? Would He be just as silent as you are? Would He speak up? Would He tolerate or accept the words that you are allowing to be spoken around you?)

–

3) Would you willingly choose to do what you are currently doing with Jesus standing right there beside you?

(Translation: Would you be just as laid back and comfortable engaging in the habits and behaviors that you are doing, if the LORD was in your immediate vicinity? Would you remain indifferent, choosing to hide your light when faced with those things that exist in the darkness, if He stood beside you? Would you be more or less compassionate, more or less loving, more or less… (fill in the fruit of the Spirit here), if He occupied the space next to you? How willing would you be to turn toward the LORD and invite Him to take part in what you were doing, if He was right there? Would you want what you are choosing to do to be done to Jesus?)

Examine your heart. Examine your mind. Examine your life. Examine your spirit. Examine your words. Examine your environment. Examine the people you lead or follow.
