Worldly worries, the false sense of security brought on by prosperity, and the desire for things plague us today...It is just so easy for our daily routines to become overcrowded...
Unfortunately, A life packed with worldly pursuits deafens us to God's word.
It is necessary for us to be free so we can hear God when He speaks.
Others, like seed sown on good soil, hear the word, accept it, and produce a crop - 30, 60 or even a hundred times what was sown - strive be good in every areas of our lives at all times.
The key to Christian living is a thirst and hunger for God. And one of the main reasons people do not understand or experience the sovereignty of grace and the way it works through the awakening of sovereign joy is that their hunger and thirst for God is so small. John Piper
