“Our generation is obsessed with excitement and entertainment, making the ordinary sound boring. All the same, most people do not want their search for food to be truly exciting, as if the outcome were unsure. You want to walk to the fridge or go to the restaurant and know food will be available. Even when someone goes on an outdoor experience, very few want their food supply for an indefinite and unknown period of time to be truly dependent on their skills, nor especially on their fortunes in the supply chain of animals or fauna suitable for food. Most of us do not want that sort of excitement. We should learn to think the same way about God. We should not want to have to go on a mystical quest for a place to meet the Lord. We should not hope to need to linger in the woods or find the right mountaintop to find God. Rather, we should be glad—even excited—that God has promised to meet us in his ordinary means of grace.”
