(Found this tonight, I didnt write it.) So, we start with God, not us. If you are making decisions based primarily on what makes me happy, then you have your priorities backwards and you will stumble at every turn. God first, then you. Thats the order laid out by Christ in the paradoxical Matthew 10:39, If your first concern is to look after yourself, youll never find yourself. But if you forget about yourself and look to me, youll find both yourself and me In the same way that a hiker must orient himself to true north before he can begin his journey, so we must orient (and continue re-orienting) ourselves to the absolute truth that life is not to be driven by what makes us happy, but by what brings God glory. That is lifes true north. Only by doing so will we ever begin to experience the fulfillment and adventure of life. So, the better way to ask your question is this, How could I live my life in such a way that brings God the most glory? Now were asking the right question.
