“Isn’t what first pops out of us when a trial washes over us the truest indicator of the actual state of our hearts?… As C.S Lewis put it, ‘If there are rats in a cellar, you are most likely to see them if you go in very suddenly. But the suddenness does not create the rats; it only prevents them from hiding.’” 😮💨

This is a powerful quote, I often feel repentance is seen as turning away from all your “bad” habits, but acting righteous in your on strength is all to often masqueraded as being pious and faithful, but all the pressure is on your shoulder rather than His. I can easily forget this, thanks for sharing bro!

For real man… Dane describes this type of obedience as “thinly veiled disobedience.” Makes me consider my end goals for being obedient to God in the first place…
