Everyone's life is driven by something: many are driven by things like guilt, resentment, anger, fear, materialism and the need for approval.
"To worry yourself to death with resentment would be foolish, senseless thing to do." Job 5:2 TEV "I observed that the basic motive for success is the driving force of envy and jealousy!" Ecclesiastes 4:4LB "A pretentious, showy life is an empty life; a plain and simple life is a full life." Proverb 13:7 The Message There are other forces that can drive your life but all lead to the same end; unused potential, unnecessary stress, and an unfulfilled life. "I have labored to no purpose: I have spent my strength in vain and for nothing ." Isaiah 49:4 NIV "My life drags by - day after hopeless day." Job 7:6 LB "I give up; I am tried of living. Leave me alone. My life makes no sense." Job 7:16 TEV "You will be a restless wanderer on the earth." Genesis 4:12 NIV The Bible has a remedy. "Don't live carelessly, unthinkingly. Make sure you understand what the Master wants." Ephesians 5:17 The message "Reflect on what I am saying [about serving the Lord], for the Lord will give you insight into all this." 2 Timothy 2:7 NIV " Jesus said, "I am the way and the truth and the life. no one comes to the Father except through me." John 14:6 NIV
