Get Back to the Basics

Any time I feel myself moving in a direction that seems out of line with God’s calling on my life, I return to the basics of what I know: praying more, studying Scripture with more devotion, sharing my struggles with others.

It’s important to remain planted by God’s life-giving stream. Apart from Him, we can’t do anything—it’s mere striving in our own strength. And this type of striving isn’t sustainable.

To face a fallen world, we need a risen King. Staying connected to God and His leading and direction for our lives is a must when it’s easy to get distracted with the little foxes of the day.
