If you’re anything like me, there are moments in life when you feel like you’ve got this. Money is coming in, business is thriving, and everything seems to be on cruise control. In those seasons, we might think we’ve made it and that this is how life should be. However, as I get older, I’ve come to realize that this is just a very, very small portion of life; it is not the be-all and end-all. I believe we must face challenges to truly appreciate this perspective. I’ve been through my share of struggles, and I know more will come because my goal in life is to surrender my world to God every day.

If given a choice, we would likely opt for comfort. Let’s face it: nobody enjoys being uncomfortable. As I navigate my day—whether talking to potential clients, connecting with my network, or spending time with my wife—I’ve realized that while all these relationships are valuable, there’s nothing quite like my time with God.

I remember when I was younger, I often wondered how people could spend so much time with God. It seemed like a lot. But over time, I’ve come to understand the necessity of that connection. I feel like Charles Spurgeon, needing Him morning by morning and evening by evening. I take moments to pause, thank Him, and acknowledge how much I appreciate that my life is in His hands. Whatever He wants to do with it, I’m open to it because He is the Creator and Sustainer of life.

We all need a healthy reverence for God. He doesn’t expect us to be perfect, but I strive not to live outside of His will whenever possible. I enjoy spending time in His Word, as it offers both encouragement and conviction—I believe we need both.

I love how Lecrae captures this sentiment in his song: “I need Him from morning to morning. I need Him to fight the opponent. I need Him to get where I’m going, the power that moves every mountain.” It’s such a profound reminder. I don’t want to spend a day without Him.
