The Examined Life I

Socrates said, "the unexamined life is not worth living." If you examine that statement, it is a very bold statement. Perhaps a bit too bold for me, but I agree with the premise. We should be examining our lives.

Paul puts it with a bit more application, "Watch your life and doctrine closely."

So to walk that out, the first area that I would want to examine is my relationship with God.

Am I having regular devotions? Are the feeding and fulfilling me? Do I feel like i have checked off an activity or have I met with a person. Have I spoken to Him? Has He spoken to me? Have I been affected by an element of his charactor or an element of sinfulness?

How could I meet with the sacrificed savior and not be changed?

Lord, my heart is stone. My emotions are cold. My motivations are selfish. Might I, this morning touch just the hem of your garment and be changed forever.
