On his blog Gordon Cheng relates a spiritual exercise he is currently undertaking.
He is seeking to open up and apply Galatians 2:20 to his life by working through seventeen questions:
I’m trying to apply Galatians 2:20 by looking at these questions in the context of daily prayer and Bible reading. Unlike a lot of the good secular advice out there, I want to start with the assumption that Jesus is Lord of all, that I am a helpless sinner in need of his forgiveness, and therefore that any progress I might make in answering big questions about life revolve around Jesus’ work as the Lord who has bought me by his death, and is now changing me by his Spirit.
This is not an introspection that leaves a person focussed on self and not God.
Instead the questions cause the individual to focus clearly on their dependance upon God and His gracious provision to His children.
Read and reflect your own way through: ‘What matters matter?’
