Slay Doubt Challenge - Chapter 6 Reflections

Hello all

Today we continue with my reflections from Slay Doubt by Detola Amure.

Navigating your past

We live in a fallen world where bad things happen. God never promised us that our lives would be easy, but He promised to always be there with us. He wants to turn your pain around for your good and for His glory, if you will let him.

This chapter delved into how past events affect our lives. Detola encourages that we change our perspective to that of God's because God can and does use all our experiences ultimately for our good.

It was an excellent reminder that I can either remain bitter about past events or let God use those same events to shape my future. It also made me check my heart to see if I'd truly forgiven and released the pain of past events from my heart.

Book Recommendation: Today Matters by John C. Maxwell

Hello Hope you're well. I wanted to quickly share with you a book I've been reading over the past couple of months. It is called Today Matters by John C. Maxwell. In Today Matters , Maxwell advises that "the secret of your success is determined by your daily agenda. Make the decision once, then manage it daily. Successful people make the right decisions early and manage those decisions daily." He identifies 12 areas of life in which he believes the right decisions should be made. Once made, these decisions should be practised on a daily basis. I particularly enjoyed chapter 7 - Today's Thinking Gives Me An Advantage. John outlines various types of thinking including intentional thinking, big-picture thinking, creative thinking, etc. He explains the benefit of finding a time and space to practise the habit of good thinking daily. For me, my focus right now is intentional and creative thinking. You can purchase your copy of Today Matters...
