I wanna go deeper!

1 Chronicles 29:14-19
"But me- who am I, who are these my people, that we should presume to be giving something to you? Everything comes from you; all we're doing is giving back what we've been given from your generous hand. As far as you're concerned, we're homeless, shiftless wanderers like our ancestors, our lives mere shadows, hardly anything to us. God, our God, all these materials - these piles of stuff for building a house of worship for you, honoring your Holy Name- it all came from you! It was all yours in the first place! I know, dear God, that you care nothing for the surface- you want us, our true selves- and so I have given from the heart, honestly and happily. And now see all these people doing the same, giving freely, willingly- what a joy! O God, God of our fathers Abraham, Issac, and Israel, keep this generous spirit alive forever in these people always, keep their hearts set firmly in you. And give my son Solomon an uncluttered and focused heart so that he can obey what you command, live by your directions and counsel, and carry through with building The Temple for which I have provided."


My favorite part of this verse is "I know, dear God, that you care nothing for the surface- you want us, our true selves.." So many people think biblical faith is about changing our behavior. This is one huge mistake that our culture makes, only because spiritual growth is the growth of the root, which is out of sight. Adopt God's desires. Never cease your prayers for change until the change runs deep. Always let God take you deeper than the day before! How deep do you wanna go?

I am so excited that we are starting an amazing journey all together! Ladies buckle up because we are going DEEP!
