Do you have FOMOr? | Jeff Kemp

I fear missing out on good stuff. Do you? Watch and set yourself free.

Game Plan:

“And so, dear brothers and sisters, I plead with you to give your bodies to God because of all he has done for you. Let them be a living and holy sacrifice—the kind he will find acceptable. This is truly the way to worship him. Don’t copy the behavior and customs of this world, but let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think. Then you will learn to know God’s will for you, which is good and pleasing and perfect.” Romans 12:1-2, NLT

Time Out:

When we fear missing out on something, do we fear that life won’t be good unless we reach out and grab something that others have? When we fear missing out, are we demonstrating that we have yet to find true contentment? When we fear missing out, have we not learned that contentment is knowing Jesus… and that His plan for us is good, pleasing and complete. God has a paradox for us. If we give up and let go, we gain the most possible. If we give our bodies fully to God, desiring relationship with Him and His cause above everything else, we’ll be worshiping Him in a way that allows Him to change us to be the best and most joyful version of ourselves.

God has a paradox for us. If we give up and let go, we gain the most possible.

Go Deep:

Don’t let the Facebook-fueled and advertising-saturated culture of selfish consumerism rip you off. God alone is the source of pure joy and contentment. Stop trying for too much in too many ways, all at the same time. Ask God for contentment. Clue…it’s knowing and serving Him. Commitment brings freedom…Commitment requires focus…Focus will gladly skip lesser things to seek the best.
