Rule of Five

Jeremiah 6:16

Yesterday ended last night - forget the former things and do not dwell on the past - see I am doing a new thing and now it springs up

I’m making a way in the desert and streams in the wasteland

Higher level of wisdom and come to a place of discipline - (disciple)

The Rule of Five - don’t try to do too much, but do just a little bit every day - life is a process - success is found in daily agenda

Don’t do it all day - do it every day

Biblical principle - Focus on today - focus on the now

Rule 1: Find your five - find five activities that you did every day that would improve your life

Intelligent person aims at wise action, but a fool starts off in many direction - Proverbs 17:24

Hodges personal five - pray, read the bible, say I love you,

Time, thought, and effort - must do them intentionally

Teach us to number our days - and gain heart of wisdom

Rule 2: Prioritize your five - Order and priority is important

Rule 3: Enjoy your five

Hebrews 12 - cloud of witnesses - throw off everything that hinders and sin that entangles - and let us run with perseverance the race that is marked out for us - let us fix our eyes on Jesus - creator and perfector - who for the Joy set before him endured the cross - His Joy was US - his disciples -

No discipline seems pleasant at the time, it is painful - but it produces harvest of righteousness and peace

Rule 4: Fight for your five

Rule 5: Evaluate your five - how am I doing

God wants to help you - creator and perfector -

You need a new life - new you - and only God can do that

If you live according to your body, you will die - if you live according to Word, you will live - give your old life a burial - do it now

Must completely put to death your old life - must surrender everything
