Jesus said many hard and difficult statements. His words were often blunt and shocking, counter the cultural and usual standards for living life. He said that we needed to be born again, and He set the example to cross boundaries to communicate who He is with the way we live. He said we need to drink His living water and our lives will be changed. Following Christ is not going with the flow and cruising along with culture. We are different than the world for sure. I’m praying that each of us will consistently live in light of God’s Word, which is often met with resistance. Let’s pray yhat we become disciple makers, influencing others to be disciple makers as well. God will provide wisdom for each twist and turn in our journey. .
“David cuts through all the many needs, wants, and desires that may have been bouncing around inside him and essentially says, "If I could have only one thing, I want to be with God, to be in His presence, to know that he is always with me." Whether in good times or bad times, David knew the thing he needed most: to feel God's presence close by, intimately, through worship.” - Craig Groeschel, Weird: Because Normal Isn't Working
