Real success in the kingdom of God is not about being strong and looking good and knowing all the right answers. It's about continually yielding oneself to Jesus and determining to take purposeful little steps of obedience, and the ragged reality that it's all about God and His grace at work in us.

Real success in the kingdom of God is not about being strong and looking good and knowing all the right answers. It's about continually yielding oneself to Jesus and determining to take purposeful little steps of obedience, and the ragged reality that it's all about God and His grace at work in us. The best way to keep yourself from being overcome by evil is to put yourself into good situations. The Bible says that we should put ourselves into godly people and godly situations. That sounds hard, but it's simple. If you want to be a great servant of God, you need to know how to put yourself into a godly situation.
