10 Questions Worth Asking Yourself

The Christian journey of becoming like Jesus is one of continued growth. If you aren’t growing as a Christian, it’s probably time to check the health of your relationship with Jesus, because healthy things grow. Even Jesus, in preparation to live out His purpose, took time to learn and grow. It says in Luke 2:52, “…Jesus grew in wisdom and stature, and in favour with God and man.”

Interestingly this sentence is just about all that is said about Jesus in the years leading up to His public ministry. Yet, this short sentence says quite a lot.

Have you ever taken the time to assess how you are going in yourself? Are you growing in wisdom, stature and favour? Some elements of spiritual growth seem unquantifiable, yet others are actually very practical and quantifiable.

Here are a series of questions worth asking yourself. They cover multiple areas of life, each of which come back to our personal relationship with Jesus.

10 questions worth asking yourself…

Am I investing in myself?

This is a personal growth question.

Am I genuinely interested in others?

This is a motive question. If people mattered to Jesus, they should matter to us.

Am I doing what I love, and loving what I do?

This is a passion question. If you go to work only to fulfil process and function, you are effectively retired. Passion gives you the advantage and drive.

Am I investing my time with the right people?

This is a relationship question. Jesus only chose 12 people, and He had an inner circle of 3.

Am I staying in my strength zone?

This is an effectiveness question. You don’t have to be a jack of all trades. Focus on what only you can offer to a situation.

Am I taking others to a higher level?

This is a mission question. Long-term influence is determined by the seeds you sow. Your mission is to add value to others.

Am I taking care of today?

This is a success question. Success is determined by your daily agenda. Are your habits utilising your time or wasting it away?

Am I taking time to think?

This is a leadership question. A minute of thought is greater than an hour of talk. Taking time to think allows you to live life purposefully. You author your life by clearing your schedule for thinking.

Am I developing leaders?

This is a legacy question. Are you committed to developing successors who go beyond yourself?

Am I pleasing God?

This is an eternity question. Is your conscience clean before God and man?

How did you go with those answers? They are a daily challenge. We hope they help you move towards all that God has for you.

Being salt and light takes effort, but that effort always pays off.
