I didn't want to do a ten on tuesday. So I didn't.
We just finished week six of our Bible study and I am so blown away by what I'm learning. Growing up in church I have pretty much heard it all. But this time it's going deeper; it's going to my heart. It's like a cold drink when I'm really thirsty. It quenches my spirit so deep within I just cannot describe it.
I love this passage below by AW Tozer.
"The Spirit-filled life is not, as many suppose, a life of peace and quiet pleasure. It is likely to be something quite the opposite. My point here is that if we want to escape the struggle we have but to draw back and accept the currently accepted low-keyed Christian life as the normal one. That is all Satan wants. That will ground our power, stunt our growth and render us harmless to the kingdom of darkness. Compromise will take the pressure off. Satan will not bother a man who has quit fighting. But the cost of quitting will be a life of peaceful stagnation. We sons of eternity just cannot afford such a thing."
I'm encouraged to keep fighting. I never want a life of peaceful stagnation. I want to move forward...Jesus is coming soon and I want to be ready!
