The Purpose-Driven Life 192
reflecting on God’s Word. Develop the habit of writing down
exactly what you intend to do. This action step should be personal
(involving you), practical (something you can do), and provable
(with a deadlineto do it). Every application will involve either
your relationship to God, your relationship to others, or your
personal character.
Before reading the next chapter, spend some time thinking
about this question: What has God alreadytold you to do in his
Word that you haven’t started doing yet? Then write down a few
action statements that will help you act on what you know. You
might tell a friend who can hold you accountable. As D. L.
Moody said, “The Bible was not given to increase our knowledge
but to change our lives.”
