Day 98 - Week at a glance
Scripture focus: God looks down from heaven on the entire human race; he looks to see if anyone is truly wise, if anyone seeks God. Psalm 53:2 NLT
In summary:
Sometimes we get so focused on the dark side of humanity, that we fail to acknowledge the truth from God's perspective. He made us "very good."
God's desire for godly living is not because he's insecure and needs his kids to behave in order for him to feel like a decent Father. He knows that when we stress our brains out by living counter to our true God-created identity - that we're making needless trouble for ourselves.
We humans get confused; we think God wants us to live life to please him. In truth, God is already delighted with his children!
God desires for us to trust him, because in this state of 'being' there's lots of room for Him to guide us into what he wants us to be 'doing.'
Ambition is God-given, and is best experienced when we are God-led.
Brain cravings all focus on survival (self-centered); Soul cravings are an expression of hope.
Hope is a community activity - we have it, so that we can give it.
This completes the first ninety eight steps of your 365 step journey; I pray you are nearer to God as a result of the steps you've taken this week.
Recommended reading: Deuteronomy 31 in the morning; Psalm 78 in the evening
