09/10/23 | When you overfill your coffee cup the result is a sticky mess, or a nasty burn, yet we often live our lives this way! In this 4-week series, we look to the Scripture for God’s design on how to live life with room. That could be having money left over at the end of the month, a night of the week when there’s nothing going on, or it could even be the distance between you and temptation.
In Week 2, Pastor Matt shares on how to live with “margin” or “room” in our schedules. Reading from Ephesians 5:15-17, we are challenged not to “live like fools” by following the world’s pattern of busyness, but to “live like those who are wise.” Wise people ask for room. Wise people live:
1) God’s will > My will
2) Should do > Can do
3) Great > Good
The practical application question we are left with in light of the scriptures is to simply ask, “Is it wise?” Applying this to every area of our lives will allow us to live with purpose, intention, and ROOM, rather than allowing life to overfill our cups for us.
