...I, then, turned the page in Lysa's book (see previous post) and read this:
"How easy
it is to be obey partially. Obeying just
enough to give the right Christian appearance is not the obedience God
desires. He looks past all the outside trappings
and misguided intentions straight to the heart.
He wants our full attention and absolute devotion. Don’t mistake this to look like a bunch of
Christianese-speaking robots walking around chanting the rules of God. No, women who say yes to God are as unique in
their approach to the sold-out life for Christ as pebbles found creekside. We’ve all been tumbled and smoothed in
different ways, but we all have one thing in common…we know we rest in the
mighty hand of God. Right now we may
simply be an unsuspecting rock, but at anytime God could use us to slay the
mightiest of giants. We live in anticipation
and expectation of God showing up and giving evidence of how very near He
always is." ~ p. 114
