A SUSTAINABLE LIFE Are you living a sustainable life? Maybe youve caught yourself saying things like, I cant do this much longer. I just cant keep this up forever. When you make comments like these, what youre really saying is, I know I have limits and that Ive reached them, but Im going to ignore them and see how long I can get by with it. Our body gives us warnings when were pushing too hard, like an ache here or a pain there. But we think, Ill be all right, and we ignore the warnings until were too sick to ignore them. Im not proud of this, but for the first twenty years after graduation, I felt physically terrible a lot of the time. I ran to doctors and tried all kinds of pills and vitamins. The doctors tried to tell me that I was simply pushing myself too hard, but I ignored them. I kept pushing myself to do all the thinking, traveling, meetings, wanting to do all the work alone for profit maximisation and so on, simply exhausting myself. Finally, I realized that we cant ignore Gods direction to take time to rest and not pay a price for it. Ps. Tunde Bakare said if you dont rest your body, your body will Rest Ïn Peace(RIP). So I made some changes and now I feel better than I ever have. If you are living an unsustainable life, stop putting off making the changes you need to make. Dont wait until something happens, like a nervous breakdown or a heart problem. Make changes now to live the kind of life God wants you to live. When you live Gods way, I can guarantee youll discover an overwhelming new level of peace in your life. Prayer: Lord, show me the unsustainable areas of my life. I submit them to You. Lead me into Your rest and peace today, so that I can enjoy my life and serve You for years to come. Ps. 23: 2
