What makes a stream flow faster? I know there’s a lot that goes into it, but a primary factor is the gradient of the stream. If you tip the landscape you can make the stream and all its currents flow faster. Wouldn’t it be wonderful if the landscape of our lives could be inclined toward God? As you open scripture you see that this thought is all through it. People ask God to incline their hearts and minds toward Him. How much further and faster could we go if only the inclination of our lives was toward God? Is this what our parents and grandparents (and scripture) call holiness? Let’s explore that idea as we open God’s Word this week.
