“If you spend one hour a day for five years on any given subject, you will become an expert in that field”
Earl Nightingale
John Maxwell quotes Earl Nightingale under the context of pursuing leadership – but imagine the implications of this if Christians took this seriously when considering their relationship with God.
Surely our primary concern should be growing in our knowledge of God, growing in our relationship with Him, and as a result growing in our response to Him. I am so challenged by this quote to be diligent in my pursuit of God. To be more devoted to knowing Him and His word, to be more diligent in setting aside time to pursue intimacy with Him and to be more intentional about living for Him.
He is so other, so endless, so massive that I will never become an expert, but what growth this kind of commitment would bring.
The challenge has been set out, so what is our response?
About Me
- Sue Smith
- Hi, I am Sue, in my late 20's and am passionate about Jesus, His beautiful Church and seeing His Kingdom extend through Biblical acts of faith. I have been toying with the idea of blogging for months now, and having read others have gained so much encouragement in walking with Jesus, I felt it was time to give in and write a little about God's faithfulness to me in this journey He has me on.
