Spiritual Life
A typical unsuccessful but “safe” person tends to start and stop making choices on either side of the curve.
Making the right choice every time
will eventually pay off.
Successful people….• “Identify habits that don’t serve them and replace them
with those that do.”• Reflect….. Plan, do, check and adjust.• Are willing to fail.• Form relationships with positive people and if necessary
disassociate with those who bring them down.• Read at least 10 pages a day from a positive or
educational book. • Understand the power of simple things.• Don’t give up.• Understand the slight edge and they put it to work for
them.

Back to Jim Elliot
Imagine• How much of the Bible you could have
memorized now if you have been choosing to memorize every day.
• Not having that struggle with sin if you depended on God and spent time with Him each day.
Make a Choice today
• The choice is yours!• Choose Christ and His gift of Eternal Life.• Choose to put the slight edge to work for you.• What daily discipline is first on your list?
