Keep Choosing God
Keep choosing God.

This is your task, your daily calling, whatever else you might be up to. Everything around you is pulling against it like a riptide.

Things are very dynamic, as we saw in Psalm 91; you have to keep choosing, and choosing, and choosing Jesus above all things. This is how we love him and take refuge in him.

apart from you I have no good thing.” (Psalm 16:1–2)
In other words, “you are my everything.” The ordinary mystic has tasted enough of the goodness of God to need no convincing that this intimacy is worth anything it might cost.
