“Don’t miss the forest for the trees!”
Yesterday, challenged us: Don’t be so fixated on the small thing that you miss the big thing. Don’t elevate good things above the God those things were meant to lead us to.
Five areas where we often miss Jesus:
1. Parenting — We can pursue behavior modification and miss relationship.
2. Work & Leadership — We can protect policies and miss people.
3. Religion — We can know Scripture and still miss Jesus.
4. Relationships — We can win arguments and lose friendships.
5. Achievement — We can build a life and miss out on living.
“You search the Scriptures because you think they give you eternal life. But the Scriptures point to me! Yet you refuse to come to me to receive this life.” (John 5:39–40)
Jesus came to give life ABUNDANTLY. Don’t miss Him in the middle of all the good things!
