Hiding on the prodigal road

Sometimes we want to avoid what we should hear/do, so we stay away from the ones who will give us truth because we don't want to deal with/acknowledge it.

It's like that with God too, we'll withdraw from where we'll hear from Him. Don't do the Adam 'hide' avoiding His house, His people, His Word. The 'prodigal' road is deceptive and lonely.

“Whither shall I go from thy Spirit? or whither shall I flee from thy presence?” Psalm 139:7

"Draw near to God, and he will draw near to you"
James 4:8.

"That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that ye, being rooted and grounded in love, May be able to comprehend with all saints what is the breadth, and length, and depth, and height; And to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fulness of God.
Ephesians 3:17-19

thoughts for the sojourn ...

We are sojourners.
Called to swim not tread water or merely stay afloat
Called to His purpose
Sanctification
Perfecting ...

His thoughts not our thoughts
Not the natural but the supernatural
Not the norm but the peculiar

Those who will leave and cleave
Those who will be salt not become salt
Those who will be light not cast shadows
Those who will glorify Him not them
Those who want His power for His not theirs
Those who listen for His voice not hear their own
Those who won't travel with extra baggage but trust His burden is light and His provision is right
Those who are not looking to God's blessings but blessing God

Those who put on Christ
That drink His water and not the world's
 those who are discerning not looking/taking surface things but the deeper things of the Spirit.
