What rocks have you moved out of your soil? I’m still finding rocks related to self sufficiency and my selfish independence. Just when I thought I was trusting God, I discover I’m depending on my own strength. Another type of rock is my desire to be known as a good person, not for what God is doing, but for what I’m doing. These idols block my view of Hks kingdom and His righteousness.
“It is the reality of the kingdom of God—and the gospel purpose in it to glorify Christ—that should comfort Christians today, not the rising and falling of popular opinion or the ways of the Supreme Court or the majority votes in the Congress or the moral sanity of the president. All those people are sinners. We can root for them and persuade them and pray for them and hope for them—but we cannot hope in them, because none of them is not a sinner. Only Jesus Christ’s kingdom comes with perfect grace and peace and justice. And only Jesus Christ’s kingdom will remain.” - Jared C. Wilson, The Story of Everything
