We all desire defining moments. A defining moment is a necessary glimpse of your destiny conveyed through an inspiration and illumination. Psychologists tell us that 1% of 1% of experiences ever make it into our memories. There are about 12-15 experiences (positive or negative) in our lives, which cause us to become what we are. They largely shape who we are, what we think and who we become.
Defining moments come from or lead us to defining decisions. And it’s in those decisions that we properly steward a defining moment. I believe these decisions are made daily. Defining decisions are what we chose to be and to do on a daily basis. They will either develop defining moments in our lives or depreciate them, ultimately extinguishing them.
I believe we have 2-3 daily defining decisions we make and the rest of the day is spent managing those decisions. So, what are you choosing to be and do today? Are your decisions centered on your defining moments from God? Or, are you just wastefully choosing to live your life for yourself, consumed in your own deception of religious familiarity?
