Our obedience to God

Because we are free

our obedience to God is difficult:

it can be achieved only after contest and struggle,

and just this makes the reward of obedience

even more to be sought after.

– Irenaeus (Haer. IV.37.6–7).

We will never see miracles until…

The hopeful stare up the steps.

The faithful *step up the stairs*

We never see the miracles of God

until we start up the mountain.

-Ann VosKamp

What living by faith means

To live by faith means to make decisions

Based on what God says, even though

You do not yet see the results.
