Updraft - Long Obedience in the Same Direction

Published: Feb. 11, 2018, 5 a.m.

b'The problem of our human nature is that we want: \\n\\nThe credibility without the consistency; \\nThe harvest season without the planting season;\\nThe increase without the investment;\\nThe success without the obedience; \\nThe rewards without the sacrifice;\\nThe fruitful without the faithful. \\n\\nAlmost 40 years ago, Eugene Peterson wrote: Long Obedience in the Same Direction. That title is the perfect definition of what it means to be faithful to God; long obedience in the same direction. \\n\\nThat journey starts with one prayer... a prayer of surrender.'
