Spirituality

"Seek God, all you quietly disciplined people who live by God's justice. Seek God's right ways. Seek a quiet and disciplined life."

As a part of the Natural Church Development work we're doing, our church health team has been reading a book together. We just reached a critical point where after taking a survey, we're learning about our personal spirituality styles. Once we know these, we can work to interact with those who are different from us, which will deepen our own spirituality.

Needless to say, my style isn't what I expected it to be, but the above verse resonates with me. Personal spiritual disciples, like this blog, are what keep me enduring in my faith. Endurance produces character and character produces hope and hope does not disappoint us.

We would love it if this chain of events simply started with endurance, but suffering is what kicks it all off.

Lord, like Job, help me learn to trust in you always.
