The main measure of your devotion to God is not your devotional life. It is simply your life.
John OrtbergThere is something you can't fix, can't heal, or can't escape, and all you can do it trust God. Finding ultimate refuge in God means you become so immersed in his presence, so convinced of his goodness, so devoted to his lordship that you find even the cave is a perfectly safe place to be because he is there with you.
John OrtbergGod is still in the business of coming down to earth: to this cubicle, this email, this room, this house, this job, this hospital room, this car, this bed, this vacation. Any place can become Bethel, the house of God. Cleveland, maybe. Or the chair you're sitting in as you read these words.
John OrtbergIt only makes sense to ask God for guidance in the context of a life committed to "seeking first the kingdom."
