The enemy is frankly happy to leave them in that place. Just wear humanity down, push them into the shallows, make it so they can’t possibly give God their attention and receive his graces. In that haggard, famished condition, he can then present the false gods that will bind them forever. Dear friends, I hope you see clearly now that more of God is our greatest need, our greatest joy, our only rescue. This isn’t optional. He’s the source of the strength and resiliency we need for this hour, the Life that allows us to enjoy everything else in life.
