Read Mosiah 4:27 and then ask yourself the questions below.
“And see that all these things are done in wisdom and order; for it is not requisite that a man should run faster than he has strength. And again, it is expedient that he should be diligent, that thereby he might win the prize; therefore, all things must be done in order.”
- What are you running after?
- What is it that you are chasing?
- Are you chasing a future lifestyle that you could have right now?
- It doesn’t say don’t run, so what speed should I be running?
- Is life really a path that we must complete before we die?
- What if you stopped viewing life as a path and started viewing it as an experience?
- We often visualize the analogy of putting the big rocks of our life into the jar first. The rocks represent our activities, but what does the jar represent? Limitations? Time? What if there was no jar?
- If someone was to observe my life, what would they list as my priorities? Would they list the first and second great commandments as the first two items on my list of priorities?
- Do my actions show that I love God and my fellow man?
