Chapter 7: Your Best Life … Later

A recent New York Times best seller was titled 1. The Year of Living Biblically. A year is biting off quite a bit. How about the concept of The Day of Living Biblically? Could you start there, just for a day, living as biblically as possible? Is this something a friend might do with you? How about if your small group decides that on Wednesday, ________, 2009, that you’re all going to strive to live the day biblically?

Read Galatians 5:22–23. In the King James Version, one of the fruit of the Spirit is “longsuffering.” 2. What images does that word evoke in your mind? Is that a word your family and friends would use to describe your life? If not, why not?

Take a few moments and answer this question: What am I doing right now that requires faith? 3. Nothing is gained here by trying to sound spiritual or concocting some answer that isn’t true. Maybe it helps to break the sentence in half. First, answer: What am I doing right now? Then look at those “right now” things and ask if any of them requires faith.
