Questions:

What is Paul seeking to make his own (relate to the goal in verse 14)? Compare and contrast your own intense desires and goals in life.

Food for Thought:

If life seems useless, tiresome, dull or insignificant; remember life is designed for eternity. Get to know God, strive to be like Christ, and share life’s purpose with others. – _{Message received from sermon of Steve Ramsdell, Pastor FUMC Waco}

Application:  What lesson has been learned or what are some plans of action I can take?
