Quote from Joe Thorn's great book "Note to Self"

I have been reading a great book by Joe Thorn entitled "Note to Self: The Discipline of Preaching to Yourself". I have been reading through this with our Youth Minister at Oak Ridge, Lonnie Smith. It has been quite good for my soul and challenging. God has blessed me through this and I highly encourage anyone to get this book. Here is a great quote:

"Seeking God means that you are continually aiming and working at knowing him more deeply, depending on him more thoroughly, and experiencing his grace more richly...It is unfortunate that you forget your need to seek God, for though you are right that God is enough, you forget that he is only found to be enough by those who seek him. Seeking God means that in all you do, you keep his honor in your mind, his Word in your heart, and his glory as your goal - so you are seeking to actually know him and make him known." (from Chapter 12 "Seek God")
