One Thing matters. That One Thing will show you what else should matter. Listen to the One Thing, abide with the One Thing. Rest. He's calling you. He's calling you to the One Thing. Do not forfeit your soul.

Pop culture is only going to get louder. If we listen, we will make short-term compromises for long-term harm. Take a breath and refuse to give up your attention for things that will never satisfy you. Refuse to donate your future for immediate comforts and quick fixes. Where is the quiet place? Get away from the noise. Run to the rest.

Faith is a long-term game. Abiding is a long-term game, and being a follower in The Way of Jesus is a long-term game. (And it's not a game...) The answer is not to try harder. The answer is not behavior modification. The answer is not trying to be your best self. The answer is to be vulnerable and invite the Holy Spirit's presence into our life.

The Lord sees us. The Lord sees you. The Lord longs and desires for our attention. He already knows your need. He already knows your wants, wishes, and desires. And he has already set aside things that we don't yet know.

He has things to give you. He has goodness stored up for you: inheritance possessions, provisions, gifts, favor sustenance, daily bread, holiness, righteousness, joy, peace, gentleness, self-control, and spiritual gifts.

Draw near to him now, and he promises to draw near to you!

The light switch awaits! If we have darkness, it's because we have not engaged the light. If we have darkness, it is because we are choosing to walk in darkness. Practice the abiding life and engage the light, engage the light switch, engage Jesus, the light of the world.

We need to develop a daily loop of communication and prayer to the Lord so that when hard times get harder, we will not drown in overwhelming waters. Seek the Lord while he may be found, and call on him while he is near!

Everything is permissible but not beneficial. Everything is permissible but does not build up. Even though we are capable of something, it might not be the best thing for us to do. When choosing how to spend our energy and time, what will be beneficial? What will be advantageous to others? What is constructive, especially to our character, and what will encourage others?

The hairs on our heads are numbered. He knows the stars by name and every leaf on every tree is watched and under His care.

You cannot escape His love, you cannot escape his hand. He brings all things to his purpose. Our invitation is to go willingly into his purpose to give up control, worry, and anxiety.

Not even a sparrow falls to the ground without our heavenly father knowing, and we are dressed more finely than a Lily of the valley.

We are invited to give up our control today!
