What Are You Measuring In Your

Life?

Imagine This

We all have areas of life that we say are

important to us, but that we aren’t measuring.“

“I’ve spent 10 years learning, 4 years spent refining, and 4 years spent in wild success.” -Steve Martin from the Book “Born Standing Up”

Why do we stay motivated to reach some goals, but not others?

What is the difference between the areas where we naturally stay motivated and those where we give up?

THIS RULE The Goldilocks Rule states that humans

experience peak motivation when working on tasks that are right on the edge of their current abilities. Not too

hard. Not too easy. Just right.

SIZING UP GOD

Ephesians 3:16-21 New International Version (NIV)

16 I pray that out of his glorious riches he may strengthen you with power through his Spirit in your inner being, 17 so that Christ may dwell in your hearts

through faith. And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love,18 may have power, together with all the Lord’s holy people, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, 19 and to know this love that surpasses knowledge—that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness

of God.

20 Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, 21 to him be

glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen.

ESSENTIAL QUESTIONSHow do I measure myself?

How do I measure an opportunity?

How do I measure results?

I’ve realized I’ve been measuring with a stick when God says I should be measuring with a scale.

We use measurements but those are really indications of our limitations.

Measurements presuppose that there's a bottom and a top. A beginning and an end. A Genesis and a Revelation. With most measurements there are limits.

“That is, until you get to God. His scale is different. His perspective is different.

To believe in God is to remove the limits of humanity from your thinking and from your dreams. Not because you are able to do everything but because you believe in a God that can.

SO…HOW DO YOU MEASURE UP?
