The enemy capitalizes on transition and even directional discovery to try to establish fear where faith is necessary.

We worship with our focus, fear or love. We will worship what we believe has power, even things we think it have more power than God.

Our giftings can be twisted & used against us if we don't remain dependent on God with them. For instance, a natural gift of observation can be perverted into damning focus.

Living is about relationship with Him. And the way He accomplishes this is to reduce us down, down to dependence on Him, a moment-by-moment involvement.

Reactive living based on the whims of humanity is to lose our vital necessity in a sea of trivial insignificance, but we can live by design not default.

All of life is about our priorities and choice. It's living in my essentials is to find my God even as I walk in a world lost in nonessentials.

When we choose independence from God, we become blind to the provision as well as to our Provider. Thanksgiving and gratitude go out the window when we desire to be independent of God.

Our deep despair over not being able to perform is both an invitation to lean into His life as well as a check that I'm probably kicking against the goads.

Living naked and unashamed doesn’t necessarily have to do with clothes. Living in minimalism, pared down to God and His Will.

To “lean” is to go completely empty, looking for His filling. Coming with NO opinions, no thoughts and no strength.

Our inalienable rights–life, liberty, and our pursuit of happiness–don't necessarily coincide with the declaration of dependence found in the beatitudes.

Can you see Christ Life in your practicality? It's one thing to focus on spiritual matters, it's another to bring His spirituality into our practical life.
