Chances are, you’re busy. In fact, how do you even have time to watch this video or read this text? Your to-do list may seem like it’s a mile long. When we feel like there’s always so much work to do, it’s easy to get so focussed on the daily toil that we miss all the amazing things that are going on around us. In this video, speaker and best-selling author Francis Chan asks you to Just Stop and Think.
It’s like missing the forest for the trees. Just stop and think about the fact that right now you’re standing on a giant ball that’s spinning at a thousand miles an hour! And while it’s spinning, it’s flying around the sun at 67,000 miles an hour! That’s crazy, but we just walk around, ho-hum.
If you imagine your life as a movie, could it be that you’re missing the best parts? And when you stop to think about it, this movie, this story that you’re part of, it really isn’t all about you. From start to finish, this movie is obviously about God.
Francis Chan puts it this way in the video: “The whole message of the Bible is not about this God in Heaven who wants to take from you. It’s about this God who wants to give to you. And if you miss out on that, you’re gonna miss the whole point of your life.”
