Check Your Motives: The Driving Force Behind Your Pursuits

Motives create the desire to pursue something, but the key question is: Is what you are pursuing truly worth it? Even if you follow a light, you must examine your footing; otherwise, you risk following that light over a cliff.

James addresses this concept in James 4:1-3:

“What causes fights and quarrels among you? Don’t they come from your desires that battle within you? You desire but do not have, so you kill. You covet but you cannot get what you want, so you quarrel and fight. You do not have because you do not ask God. When you ask, you do not receive, because you ask with wrong motives, that you may spend what you get on your pleasures” (NIV).

God’s response to our request is 4-fold: Yes, No, Not yet or with the wrong motives zero chance.

Time is elusive, often slipping through our hands when we long to hold onto it, yet dragging when we face hardship. The Bible offers wisdom to help us navigate this paradox, teaching us to accept the seasons of life (Ecclesiastes 3:1) and to control our thoughts by aligning them with Christ (2 Corinthians 10:5). Joyful moments, though brief, are divine gifts (James 1:17), and by remembering God’s goodness (Psalm 77:11-12), we can allow positive experiences to resonate within us. Finally, Philippians 4:8 calls us to focus on what is true and praiseworthy, helping us cultivate peace regardless of life’s changing pace.

In sum, these verses remind us that while time itself may be beyond our control, how we experience it is deeply influenced by where we set our focus. When we

All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting, and training in righteousness, (2 Timothy 3:16)

That would be crazy, yet our spiritual walk consists of eight fundamental core beliefs that support our faith allowing us to jump through life successfully. The opposite is also true when we try to live life and succeed under our own will and power it results in falling straight to the ground. Ouch!

To be successful in life as a disciple of Jesus you must: engage in His Word, understand your faith and in what you believe in, and grow in the knowledge of Christ by the power of the Holy Spirit.

To join God’s team you must commit to the FOUR: God loves you, sin separates you from him, Jesus rescued you from sin, and you need to accept Him as your savior.

For God so loved the world that he gave His one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life. (John 3:16)

True love takes action to support, keep safe, and always count on someone, no matter the circumstance. I love the way David Wilkerson expresses it, “Love is not only something you feel, it is something you do.” True love takes actions which has been demonstrated by the God of this universe. God isn’t somewhere up in heaven sitting idly by wondering what will happen to us, however, God intercepted death, hell, and the grave by sending His son in our place.

When you commit to follow Jesus the path you take will transform your life for eternity. Being a disciple means you follow Jesus and devote your life to learning and living the way He lived on this earth. Growth is a process with ups and downs, peaks and valleys, however, the difference is you are never alone. Jesus promised to always be there, “...And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age” (Matthew 28:20).

How does it make you feel to know you are never alone?

A new beginning starts today when you stop feeding the negative cow.

“Remember not the former things, nor consider the things of old. Behold, I am doing a new thing; now it springs forth, do you not perceive it? I will make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert. Isaiah 43:18–19

Take some time to reflect on the promise of God. Hi-light in red what is negative and discouraging. Highlight in green the promises of God that encourage you to meditate on the good He is doing now, not what the past has done to keep you down. When we ruminate on the past, it’s similar to how cows chew their cud or food. They chew, spit it out, chew, spit it out, and continue over and over. What a nasty thought, however, isn’t it tiring and mentally cluttering to chew and spit and then chew and spit out negative thoughts? God wants to do something new in your life but as long as you meditate and ruminate on the past, you will never have the space needed to allow God to create and fill in all the amazing things in your life

God’s Word can be recycled daily. Use it over and over to create space in your life for peace, joy, and happiness. What you desire is what you become. It’s as easy as one, two, and three. Let’s practice. You just experienced number one, by highlighting in green God’s promises you can easily reference and begin to own His promises for you. Next, rewrite God’s promise on a sticky note or a note card where it becomes visible. Finally, meditate and memorize the promise; in so doing it will occupy the space where the negative thoughts won’t begin to stock-pile like dirty laundry.

How do you handle pain when you experience it?

Do you run from pain, embrace it or pray it goes away?

In life you must learn to play hurt.  The phrase “playing hurt” can carry the connotation of the unwise sacrifice of long-term health in pursuit of short-term gains. Like football players who play with a chalk full of pain meds and anti-inflammatory meds to push through injuries that unfortunately became a permanent, debilitating factor in their life long after the season is over.
