My thoughts from Chasing Daylight Chapter 2 (Part 1): Main Theme: Initiative “Doing Something”
- We have put so much emphasis on avoiding evil that we have become virtually blind to the endless opportunities for doing good. (Blogged further thoughts HERE)
- You cannot follow God in neutral.
- Every moment is priceless, unique, and unrepeatable.
- If there is one secret to seizing your divine moments, it is that you must take initiative.
- The greatest danger that success brings, aside from arrogance, is the fear of losing what has been gained. The courage and willingness to risk that breed success are endangered after success is obtained.
- If men and women who gave their lives for a purpose counter to the will of God could not stop God’s purpose in history, how could someone who longs to do God’s will and chooses to do something in line with God’s character?
- What God can do through a person who’s willing to act is limitless!
- When we fail to choose, we choose to fail.
- You cannot put your life on hold. It moves forward with or without your approval.
- Choosing not to choose does not put off the problem; it only exacerbates it.

Love the book. God is going to mess you up with it. In a good way of course.

Who are you kidding man. It’s messed me up and I’m not dissecting it like Nick. I highly recommend the purchase. It is an eye-opener.
