Priority of The Inner Life With God

Most contemporary people base their inner life on their outward circumstances. Their inner life on their outward circumstances. Their inner peace is based on other people's valuation of them, and in their social status, prosperity, and performance. Christians do this as much as anyone. Paul teaches that, for believers, it should he the other way around. Otherwise we will be whiplashed by how things are going in the world. If Christians do not base their lives on God's steadfast love, then they will have "to accept as success what others warrant to be so, and to take their happiness, even their own selves, at the quotation of the day. They tremble, with reasons, before their fate." #TimothyKeller #Prayer
