RESET YOUR PRIORITIES

Reset - Part 3 of 5

June 20, 2021 | Gabe Kolstad | @gabekolstad 

You were designed with destiny in mind. 

But something keeps pulling you away from your purpose. 

It’s time to solve the problem of drift 

and get back on course for good.

The Temptation of Christ

1 Then Jesus was led by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted there by the devil. 2 For forty days and forty nights he fasted and became very hungry.    -Matthew 4:1-2

Why Things Go South & How to Stop It:

  1. When you only fight for SURVIVAL you always miss your PURPOSE

    That is why I tell you not to worry about everyday life—whether you have enough food and drink, or enough clothes to wear. Isn’t life more than food, and your body more than clothing?    -Matthew 6:25

  2. God’s ABUNDANCE flows to His PRIORITIES

    And if God cares so wonderfully for wildflowers that are here today and thrown into the fire tomorrow, he will certainly care for you. Why do you have so little faith?    -Matthew 6:30

  3. To experience real OUTWARD change, you have to start with real INWARD change.

    Seek the Kingdom of God above all else, and live righteously, and he will give you everything you need.    -Matthew 6:33

My Next Step Today Is:

  • Today I’m saying YES to Jesus!

  • I’ll memorize Matthew 6:33 this week

  • I'll initiate a Family Meeting in my home (downloadable PDF)

For Reflection & Discussion:

  • Looking back at your life, where do you see God’s fingerprints of purpose?

  • What’s one belief or value that may have been holding you back?

  • By replacing that belief or value with God’s values, what changes might happen in your life in the next season?
