CORE

Your life is like a star. No, not the celebrity kind of star, but the flaming ball of gas kind of star. Real stars are always walking the tightrope between exploding and collapsing. The immense force of gravity is offset by the tremendous forces in the core. That is our metaphor for the first month of 2010.

If we do not offset the pressures of the world with an equally strong core, we will be crushed.

Luckily, God has designed us to have a strong core and so he has given us five specific elements that when present in our souls will produce in us the kind of life that we have only dreamed of—full life, abundant life!
