Quotes From "The Best Yes: Making Wise Decisions In The Midst Of Endless Demands" By Lysa TerKeurst

1
These were all simple acts of obedience I missed. But not missed because I was unaware. They were missed because I was busy–caught in the rush of endless demands. And the rush makes us rebellious. I knew what to do and blatantly ignored it. Ignoring God's leading doesn't seem like such a big deal in these cases. In the grand scheme of the world, how big a thing is it that I didn't pick up that cup? After all, how can I be sure it was really God?I think a better question would be, How can I be sure it wasn't God?. Lysa TerKeurst

Now I'm not saying the act of going to church fixes everything. Just as simply looking at a restaurant menu won't give you nourishment. We've got to engage with what's offered if it's going to do us any good. But putting my heart in a place to receive truth certainly got me going in a different direction. Lysa TerKeurst
