Are you jealous?

When we\u2019re thirsty, we need to know where to find water. In the same way, when our souls thirst for the things we need from God, we need to know where to turn. Thankfully, God tells us where we can find his greatest blessings on tap. He uses specific channels so his grace can flow freely, channels that ensure his blessings will never dry up. Today we see how the existence of opposing currents that pull us away from God\u2019s grace (last week\u2019s focus) require Christ\u2019s ministers (and really all Christians) to be ready to fight against those currents. The Christian life is not one of \u201cgoing with the flow\u201d but of \u201cfighting the good fight.\u201d Though that life is not easy, it is a life of promise and leads to an eternal reward.
