Quote from Stephen Macchia
“Discovering one’s personal rule of life will change the trajectory of your life. It will realign your days. It will focus your attention on the Author of life and will create for you the deepest possible connection to God’s assignment for you. For this life alone, and it’s not to be wasted. This uniquely distinct life is yours to live with abundance and joy. Will you continue to allow the waves and winds of this world, and the pressures to perform and produce by others around you, continue to guide the use of each new day? Or, will you choose to hop off the treadmill of constant activity and begin afresh to listen more attentively to the voice of invitation from the God who loves you more than you could ever ask, dream and imagine?”
Crafting a Rule of Life
What is a rule of life?
A Rule of life is simply about organizing a set of practices and developing spiritual rhythms to orient and center your life around the spiritual disciplines of Jesus.
You simply choose a spiritual practice(s); then choose a rhythm of when you’d like to apply those practices.
