Moving Past Natural Devotion

“Natural devotion may be all very well to attract us to Jesus, to make us feel His fascination, but it will never make us disciples. Natural devotion will always deny Jesus somewhere or other.”
–Oswald Chambers

I reminded of the early feelings I had when my faith began. Those feelings do not show up as often as I would like, nevertheless, if they did show up, they would not be enough to sustain me. As we walk through the valley of the shadow of death, let us be reminded that He is with us, even there. Our faith is not a blind faith, but rather, a faith that sees clearly the person and work of Jesus. Let us rest on His promises.
