Our devotional life with God is more like the planting of a garden. When we arise from sowing into the secret place, we will not usually be able to point to immediate results or benefits. What we sow today will require an entire season of growth before the results are manifest.

Loyalty is from above, betrayal is from below.

Those who walk in radical obedience have made themselves ready for the storm, and they will overcome.

. . .by lifting our hands we symbolically receive everything God is doing in our lives.

You don’t obey your way into faith (the Pharisees proved that); you believe your way into obedience.

The wisest thing you'll ever do in this life is to draw close to God and to seek Him with all your heart.

The Holy Spirit is profoundly committed to restoring the first commandment to first place in our lives.
