The righteous man will flourish like the palm tree: he shall grow like a cedar in Lebanon. Planted in the house of the Lord, they will flourish in the courts of our God. They will still yield fruit in old age; they shall be full of sap and very green. Psalm 92:12-15

Under the Glow of the Light in the Night
What if each one of us were to take one thing from the bible that refers to how to be the body of Christ and spent the rest of our lives living out that one thing that we see outlined in scripture what we are called to?
Reduced our call to a specific thing and focused on doing that one thing to the best of our ability.
What would that look like?
Would it give us more time for the more important things like prayer?
What would the lives of christians look like that would spend hours at the feet of the throne of the Almighty?
What I have observed over my years is that a lot of us christians are spread too thin. Granted we are the Laborers that are few right? But honestly the harvest doesn't seem to be as plentiful as I read in scripture that it should be. Something seems off.
I have been during this time of extended busy hectic life been trying to radically simplify my life. I believe I have actually succeeded in a lot of ways.
I have learned this in this time: things are never complicated, we make them that way. Simplicity it is a beautiful thing.
to His glory alone,
JG
