Meditation

No one is as blind as the one who will not see. Scripture indicates that we are easily sidetracked from focusing on our true inheritance. Are you sober enough most of the time to maintain the awareness that a jealous God watches over every move you make? …Stop and meditate on how you can show your zeal for God.
