We have been examining for the last month the important questions that the people in the Christmas story asked in their life. Mary’s question was “Do I accept God’s destiny for my life.” Joseph’s question was “Do I obey God when life doesn’t make sense?” The wise men’s question was “What gift will I bring to the King?” The innkeeper’s question was “Do I make room for the King?” These are all important questions that we need to ask ourselves. It is the end of the year and there are a bunch of questions we should be asking ourselves: How did I do this year? How did I do this year in relation to my job? to my family? to my walk with God? Have I grown this year? Have I stretched myself this year? Did I do anything this year that had eternal value? Am I going anywhere in life? Do I know my destination and did I make headway getting to it? What books did I read this year? Who did I spend time with this year? Where did I waste the treasures of my life (time, energy, money)? whose life did I enrich this year? Who did I disappoint? What are my goals for this year? What can I do different this year so as to not repeat my past mistakes?
It is indeed the questions that we ask, and the answers that we give that can change the course and quality of our lives. What questions are you asking this year?
