Ep. 019 - No more striving! Why knowing your worth in God brings contentment in life
Manage episode 407292046 series 3559344
Every day people around the world struggle with nagging questions about their identity. Am I enough? Is the work I do fulfilling? Am I important?
Essentially, we are trying to justify our existence apart from God. This inevitably will lead to internal striving and turmoil. It will drain our vitality in this life.
What if we are asking the wrong questions? What if instead of asking, "Who am I?" we asked, "Who is God?" or "What is He like?"
As we seek to know God and be generous stewards of all that He has given us, may we turn our hearts towards obedience to Christ, His words, and His affection towards us and away from vanity and striving after the wind.
