Praying for God to draw you closer, and to show you how to live in step with his Spirit, Doug! Read Scripture every day. Spend time seeking him in prayer every morning, at least. And join and attend a church weekly. Find others to talk with about your relationship with Christ, to help you be faithful to him. None of us does this alone. We need encouragement and accountability with others.

Hah! Yes. Although at times, even just sleeping, or relaxing by a roaring fire, is a better option. 🙂 I always forget that watching TV, or scrolling social media, actually ads stress to our bodies, rather than relieves it.

I love how you brought in both Jewish and Islam traditions to make the point about Abram’s total reliance on One, True God. And the fact that he was likely the youngest who turned to God as his surrogate Father for his inheritance…brilliant! Makes so much sense! Thanks for your insight that buoys my day! Long distance hugs to you, my friend!

Hah! Thanks JMB! Glad for your support, and thankful that the devotional spoke to you today! Blessings on establishing a healthy balance. It’s a constant struggle. But God is faithful to direct us by his Spirit. 🙂

Keeping my tablet intact to read your next book though!
