This book by David Jackman is such a jewel. Every line so rich with truth and loaded with practical reality that its hard not to read and re-read and contemplate what you've just read. But just as you decide to move on the next line, you want to go back and see if "you've left anything out", and this is such a killer for a slow reader like me.
Will share more in time but well just two nitpicks that i'd thought i'd like to share with you as food for thought this weekend. :)
“We judge by what we’ve seen and heard, rather than by what God promises, and so we become the prisoners of our own limited experiences.”
“Many of us have a sub-Christian experience of what should be ‘in Christ’, because we have left the Spirit so little room in which to operate in our lives. We have taken the controls back into our hands and we are far too ready to tell God what he can or cannot do, in and with us.
Our dependence on God has actually to be total. That is the only condition of spiritual health, and often he disciplines us, through testing and difficult circumstances, to bring us back to this realization, and to regain our spiritual sense about things.
We all like the easy options; it must be part of our fallen human nature.”
