Whatever you do, don’t just give God your leftovers. Especially since He only asks for one thin slice.
First, we gotta see truth as treasure. Then we gotta seek it, find it, and secure it in our heart. And then we gotta share the wealth.
God gladly trades His treasure for our trash. But finding those pearls of wisdom of the knowledge of God requires some serious, ongoing seeking.
Our Father will rattle everything in us and around us till all our trust is settled and firmly founded on our Rock.
Ever heard of a “trust fall”? Well it doesn’t work out so well on your own! So learn to lean on your greatest Supporter and Cheer Leader!
Our struggles drive our faith to depths possible no other way … if we trust the invincible power, unrivaled authority, eternal perspective, and infinite love in a single-minded sort of way.
God isn’t “like” a father … He is the Father! Joseph was like a Father, because everything good about fatherhood is a mere reflection of our Everlasting Father!
I can get my ignorance and assumptions out of His way by loading His Word into my heart.
The moral of the fig tree parable is clear: when the Lord comes to us, we better be ripe for repentance! Whether as a nation or an individual.
