Today in 'Words of Wisdom 131 On Desperation for God,' underscores the importance of acknowledging our helplessness without God, drawing on the poignant plea from Psalm 130 verse 1. It emphasizes that turning to God is not a mere lifestyle choice but a fundamental need, likening it to a rebel finally surrendering to the only king who can offer true freedom. Josh highlights the infinite gap only God can bridge, bringing us from desperation to soulful rest and empowerment. It cites quotes from Richard Rohr and Augustine of Hippo, reflecting on the transformative power of God's love and the deep yearning for His presence, before concluding with reflective questions aimed at encouraging listeners to examine their own reliance on God's strength. Ultimately, the Josh conveys that our desperate need for God is not a predicament but an invitation to a life filled with soul-satisfying love.
