Sometimes we imagine that believing in and following Jesus results in unending success and continual progress in every way with no more frustration, unhappy surprises, and failures. Although we receive audacious promises from Jesus, he never promised a pain-free life.

We are the sheep in Jesus’ pasture. He is our Shepherd. But our Shepherd also became one of the sheep.

We must become the kind of people who do them naturally, and spiritual disciplines are how that “becoming” happens. This weekend, as we c...
