Seeking the Lord is more rewarding than most of us tend to think. For me, here is some of the extra's!

1. A FUNNY THING
HAPPENED AS I WAS
SEEKING THE LORD

2. life
• I started to understand that Scripture not only teaches me about
God, it also teaches me how to see my life

3. Plan
• My life is a part of God’s plan
• So my life has meaning
• In the good
• In the bad
• In the short term
• In the long haul

4. Success
• I stumbled across all these ideas of success in the Bible
• Some are good, but bad for you
• Some are the opposite of what I want
• Some are encouraging
• Some are scary

5. Alien
• In the Bible success is not so personal, it’s not all about me
• Success is about taking care of my own spiritual condition
• Success is taking care of the spiritual condition of others
• Success is not about this world
• It’s un-worldly

6. Balance
• Balance
• The Bible talks about a body, mind, soul and spirit
• Every part counts
• Spirit is not good and body bad
• The Bible teaches you how to balance all of your life

7. Imbalance
• You can’t make up for imbalance
• You can’t be “overly good” in one area to make up for a weak area
• We have strengths
• Strengths cannot make up for weaknesses

8. Weakness
• Weakness is the Bible’s word for needing help
• In this world needing help is “weak”
• In the Bible it is about relationships, love
• It’s about depending on others and God
• It’s about calling out PRIDE
• Weakness in the Bible is not hidden
• You don’t need to fear your weakness

9. Meaning
• The Bible will tell you about the meaning of life
• The meaning of pain and suffering
• The meaning of joy, of love
• The meaning of trials and temptations
• The meaning of prosperity and poverty
• The meaning of life and death
There is a lot of meaning in the Bible

10. Seeking resulted finding
• When you seek the Lord you learn about
• Life
• Work
• Relationships
• Society
• Culture
• Education
• Family

11. A funny thing happened as I was seeking the
Lord
• I found more than I imagined
