Psalm 121 || In The Now

All the best stuff is in the present - the now. To live a quiet life in a world of noise is a fight, a war of attrition, a calm rebellion against the status quo. Aim at an easy life and your actual life will be marked by a gnawing angst and frustration; aim at an easy yoke and, as John Ortberg once said, “Your capacity for tackling hard assignments will actually grow.” Should you enlist in the war on hurry, remember what’s at stake. You’re not just fighting for a good life but for a good soul. How will you live more fully?
