“Much of out difficulty stems from our unwillingness to take God as He is and adjust our lives accordingly.” —A.W. Tozer

Can you imagine a shepherd following the lead of his sheep?

Follow. He knows where He’s going.

    Thanks for this, Jay. Reading in Isaiah today, reading 2 Chronicles prior… always this is highlighted to me. Love and fear. He is awesome. Revere Him. He is GOD. His grace is amazing.
