Three Words To Live By...

Julia Roberts currently stars in the movie, "Eat. Pray. Love."  I haven't seen the movie, nor have I read the book.  But I like the idea of having 3 simple words to live your life by.  I recently found my three!  Sing. Pray. Write.  After months of trying to figure out what I should be doing in my life right now, I asked God to point me in the right direction.  I asked him to give me the steps that I should be taking to ultimately fulfill His destiny in my life.  I have to be honest...I was expecting the Lord to give me career advice!  I was surprised when I heard those 3 very simple words.  They had nothing to do with what I thought I needed or where I thought I needed to be.  But behind each word some action is required on my part.  Obedience.  My confusion and anxiety about where I needed to be was wrapped up in my natural thinking.  My spritual confusion was conquered through my obedience to those 3 simple words.  How complicated we sometimes make our lives when all we really need to do is submit to the obedience of the Holy Spirit.  As soon as we obey, we have discernment.  And when we perceive God's will and focus our sight on what He is telling us to do, our entire life is kept in simplicity.  I am learning to appreciate the simplicity that is in Christ.  2 Corinthians 11:3.  So I ask you, what 3 words do you live your life by.  If you had to condense your life to 3 things that He is asking of you right now, what would those three things be?  Listen and Obey.
