Passivity
One of the saddest of all the sad stories in the history of the people of God comes shortly after the dramatic Exodus from Egypt, as they stand on the brink of a whole new life in the land God had promised: But you were unwilling to go up; you rebelled against the command of the LORD your God. You grumbled in your tents and said, “The LORD hates us; so he brought us out of Egypt to deliver...

“These biblical characters, however clean or tawdry their personal histories may have been, are not paralyzed by the past in their present response to Jesus.  Tossing aside self-consciousness they ran, clung, jumped, and raced to Him.  Peter denied Him and deserted Him, but he was not afraid of Him.  “Suppose for a moment that in a flash of insight you discovered that all your motives...

Psalm 103
Bless the Lord, O my soul;  And all that is within me, bless His holy name.  Bless the Lord, O my soul,  And forget none of His benefits;  Who pardons all your iniquities;  Who heals all your diseases;  Who redeems your life from the pit;  Who crowns you with lovingkindness and compassion;  Who satisfies your years with good things,  So that your youth is renewed like the eagle.  The Lord...

Enter His gates with thanksgiving  And His courts with praise.  Give thanks to Him, bless His name. For the Lord is good;  His...
