Abiding Dependence
About This Book
We were made to be animated by God's own breath, and becoming the people we were designed to be depends on experiencing God directly. Ron Block, a musician and artist, wrote this devotional for readers who want to grow in their faith, to sense the Father's love in a real way, and to trust that He is present when circumstances fall short of what they hoped for. Block also writes from his own longing for these same things. The book is structured as forty days of meditations drawn from the Gospels. Block considers Jesus from many angles, including as the Son of God, the Son of Man, the Son of Man who was tempted, the compassionate High Priest, a man of courage, and the Reconciler, along with several other portraits. Each reflection invites readers to dwell in God's enduring love and to live within it day by day. Block observes that many believers try to support their walk with God through their own exertion, and that this habit can distort how they understand God and their relationship with Him. He points readers toward resting in Jesus instead. Seeing and knowing His love, he suggests, awakens trust, and trust nurtures faith, which in turn kindles a hope that will not let people down. That hope is not only for some distant future but for today, this hour, and the present moment.
