Forgetfulness

Daily Readings by Wild at Heart ·

2024/03/26

If we choose the way of desire, our greatest enemy on the road ahead is not the Arrows, nor Satan, nor our false lovers. The most crippling thing that besets the pilgrim heart is simply forgetfulness, or more accurately, the failure to remember. You will forget; this isn’t the first book you’ve read in search of God. What do you remember from the others? If God has been so gracious as to touch you through our words, it will not have been the first time he has touched you. What have you done

By Wisdom

A personal walk with God comes to us through wisdom and revelation. You will soon discover that we need both.For a moment the King's grief and anger were so great that he could not speak. Then he said: "Come, friends. We must go up the river and find the villains who have done this, with all the speed we may. I will not leave one of them alive." "Sire, with a good will," said Jewel. But Roonwit said, "Sire, be wary in your just wrath. There are strange doings on foot. If there should be

The Spirit of Religion

Daily Readings by Wild at Heart ·

2024/03/24

The Religious Spirit has turned discipleship into a soul-killing exercise of principles. Most folks don’t even know they can walk with God, hear his voice. He’s stigmatized counseling as a profession for sick patients, and so the wounds of our hearts never get healed. He’s taken healing away from us almost entirely, so that we sit in pews as broken people feeling guilty because we can’t live the life we’re supposed to live. And he takes warfare and mocks it, stigmatizes it as well so that

The Search

Daily Readings by Wild at Heart ·

2024/03/23

The Search is for more of God in our lives as a growing, operational reality. There are a few critical things to believe in order to make this search go well. First off, we must be confident that God wants to give us more of himself. (Do you believe that? What are your current convictions about God wanting to give you himself?) The erosion of our soul by the world and the off-and-on experience most people have in the pursuit of God will, over time, sow seeds of doubt in our hearts that God

Our Heart's Capacities

Daily Readings by Wild at Heart ·

2024/03/22

As our soul grows in the love of God and journeys forth toward him, our heart's capacities also grow and expand: "Thou shalt enlarge my heart" (Ps. 119:32 KJV). But the sword cuts both ways. While our heart grows in its capacity for pleasure, it grows in its capacity to know pain. The two go hand in hand. What, then, shall we do with disappointment? We can be our own enemy, depending on how we handle the heartache that comes with desire. To want is to suffer; the word passion means to

Enforce Love

Daily Readings by Wild at Heart ·

2024/03/21

Because of his great love for us, God, who is rich in mercy, made us alive with Christ. (Ephesians 2:4–5)It’s important to grasp what’s taking place in the world, so you know how to live and how to respond. Hatred has become the new “spirit of the age”; the mounting tensions in this country are symptoms of a much deeper reality. The more you understand the essence of human nature and human conflict, the more you understand what Jesus was pointing to.When sins rages, when cruelty,

The Return of Spring

Daily Readings by Wild at Heart ·

2024/03/20

Winter tarries long at six thousand feet. Here in the Rocky Mountains, spring comes late and fitfully. We had snow again last week—the second week in May. I've come to accept that spring here is really a wrestling match between winter and summer. It makes for a long time of waiting. You see, the flowers are pretty much gone in September. The first of October, the aspens start turning gold and drop their leaves in a week or two. Come November, all is gray. Initially, I don't mind. The coming

Knowing Your Place In The Story

Daily Readings by Wild at Heart ·

2024/03/19

Remember that little guy I told you about, with the shiny boots and a pair of six-shooters? The best part of the story is that it wasn't all pretend. I had a place to live out those dreams. My grandfather, my father's father, was a cowboy. He worked his own cattle ranch in eastern Oregon. And though I was raised in the suburbs, the redemption of my life and the real training grounds for my own masculine journey took place on that ranch, where I spent my boyhood summers. Oh, that every boy

A Kind, Strong, and Engaged Father

Daily Readings by Wild at Heart ·

2024/03/18

You are the son of a kind, strong, and engaged Father, a Father wise enough to guide you in the Way, generous enough to provide for your journey, offering to walk with you every step.This is perhaps the hardest thing for us to believe — really believe, down deep in our hearts, so that it changes us forever, changes the way we approach each day.I believe this is the core issue of our shared dilemma. We just don't believe it. Our core assumptions about the world boil down to this: We are on

We, Too, Shall Live

2024/03/17

The resurrection of Jesus was the first of many, the forerunner of our own. He paved the way, as the saying goes.The fact is that Christ has been raised from the dead. He has become the first of a great harvest of those who will be raised to life again. (1 Cor. 15:20 NLT)God knew what he was doing from the very beginning. He decided from the outset to shape the lives of those who love him along the same lines as the life of his Son. The Son stands first in the line of humanity he restored

“‘For this people’s heart has become calloused; they hardly hear with their ears, and they have closed their eyes.Otherwise they might see with their eyes, hear with their ears, understand with their heartsand turn, and I would heal them.’” (Matthew 13:15)Heal them. Jesus yearned for his people to turn back to him so that he could heal them! The “otherwise” means that if they weren’t so hardheaded, they would turn to him and he would heal them. This truth is

What Is Your Greatest Fear?

Daily Readings by Wild at Heart ·

2024/03/15

The book “Killing Lions” is a conversation between John and Sam Eldredge about the trials young men face. [John] I’d love to share what thirty years of marriage (and twenty counseling young people) has taught me. But let me begin with a question: What is your greatest fear, as a man? [Sam] That’s easy; I fear feeling like a fool. I fear and hate it above everything else. Hate might not even be a strong enough word; loathe may be better. I hate walking into the bank and having the

Expanding the Soul

Daily Readings by Wild at Heart ·

2024/03/14

Your heart is going to grow for the kingdom, more and more as you mature, which allows us to receive more and more of God and enjoy so much more of the life he’s giving. But this can be very disorienting if you don’t understand what’s taking place within you. Just as you reach a place where you feel satisfied, it seems you need more. That’s because your soul is expanding, which is a very good thing.Some of the old habits, even the old comforts, just won’t work anymore; some of your old

Today’s Daily Reading is an excerpt from Morgan Snyder's book “Becoming a King”The context of the journey of deliverance from the false self and restoration of the true self is unique, but the process is universal. It begins with awareness. The first step to becoming true is becoming aware of the false.Who am I in my false self?What version of myself do I present to the world as a mask to self-protect?What is my effect on people?What do people feel when they are around me?You’ll want to get

The Unwavering Intensity of Desire

I am haunted by the stories of people who make the summit of Everest. Such incredible devotion is required, such total focus of body, soul, and spirit. Reaching the top of the world's tallest mountain becomes for those who try the central driving force of their lives. The goal is so remarkable and the journey so uncertain. Many climbers have been lost on the mountain. Those who reach the summit and return safely are among a rare and elite group of mountaineers in the world. Why do they do

The Heart Is Captured

Daily Readings by Wild at Heart ·

2024/03/11

In our psychological age, we have come to call our affairs "addictions," but God calls them "adultery." Listen again to his words to the Israelites through Jeremiah:You are a swift she-camel running here and there, a wild donkey accustomed to the desert, sniffing the wind in [your] craving— in [your] heat [how can I] restrain [you]? Any males that pursue [you] need not tire themselves; at mating time they will find [you]. Do not run until your feet are bare and your throat is dry. (Jer

The Offer is Life

What did Jesus mean when he promised us life? I go back to the source and what I find is just astounding.I am still confident of this: I will see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living. (Psalm 27:13)I tell you the truth," Jesus said to them, "no one who has left home or wife or brothers or parents or children for the sake of the kingdom of God will fail to receive many times as much in this age, and, in the age to come, eternal life" (Luke 18:29-30).Jesus doesn't locate his

An Extraordinary Freedom

2024/03/09

How much of what we do is motivated by fear of man? Think of it — to be entirely free of false guilt, free from pressure, from false allegiances. It would be absolutely extraordinary.This is what gives Jesus the ability to say such startlingly honest things to people.It is what enables him to be so scandalous.This is the secret of his ability to navigate praise and contempt.Neither success nor opposition have power over him. One day the crowds love him, the next they are shouting for his

Jesus Wants To Heal Your Heart

The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not be in want. He makes me lie down in green pastures, he leads me beside quiet waters, he restores my soul. (Psalm 23:1-3).He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds. (Psalm 147:3)Heal me, O Lord, and I will be healed; save me and I will be saved, for you are the one I praise. (Jeremiah 17:14)But for you who revere my name, the sun of righteousness will rise with healing in its wings. (Malachi 4:2)He welcomed them and spoke to them about the

The Restoration of Everything

Daily Readings by Wild at Heart ·

2024/03/07

When Jesus speaks of the Restoration, he does so in very tangible terms, pointing to the recovery of normal things like houses and lands:“Truly I tell you, at the renewal of all things, when the Son of Man sits on his glorious throne ... everyone who has left houses or brothers or sisters or father or mother or wife or children or fields for my sake will receive a hundred times as much and will inherit eternal life.” (Matthew 19:28–29)There is no bait and switch here.
