Scripture Used: Matthew 22:37-40 NIV, Genesis 28:16 NIV,
Tony Horsfall, Attentive to God: "Whatever our stage in live, whatever transition we may be going through and whatever circumstances may befall us, we remain within the sphere of divine nearness."
Dallas Willard, Divine Conspiracy: "Jesus' good news about the kingdom can be effective guide for our lives only if we share his view of the world… To his eyes this is a God-bathed and God-permeated world. It is a world filled with a glorious reality, where every component is within the range of God's direct knowledge and control - though he obviously permits some of it, for good reasons, to be for a while otherwise than he wishes. It is a world that inconceivably beautiful and good because of God and because God is always in it… Until our thoughts of God have found every visible thing and event glorious with his presence, the word of Jesus has not yet fully seized us."
