As you’ve read over the past months, Neil writes on a theme
and then circles back, often several times, to reinforce or extend it. I think the idea is that we allow the
information to sink in gradually, with the goal that it will stay lodged in our
long-term memory, It’s kind of
like deep-watering the lawn, only more permanent.
Neil warns us:
…even believers are vulnerable to being lured away from the knowledge
and power of God by our enemy.
It’s a good reminder that instead of pursuing knowledge of
God, I need to pursue God. When I
do, I will have the understanding I need based on my relationship with Him, and
that will be a safeguard in my life.
We’re also reminded that God created us with legitimate
needs – we want to be secure about our future – but when we meet them outside
of Him, we invite disaster. It’s a
good day to say, Today, God, I’ll stop striving. I’m going to look to You to
meet all my needs.
