Blake Robert Templeton argues that believers should pursue God continuously, not just when crisis hits. Outward prosperity like money and a good marriage can mask spiritual problems only God sees. True faith means trusting God as your sole source before you need Him.
But God's saying, I need you to come to me before you have the need because you love me, you treasure me, you're obsessed with me, because you know that I'm the only source of life. I'm the all you got. So you're going to come to me when everything you think is going good down there, because it's not going good down there. Trust me, I can see the unseen. I can see all the pitfalls. I can see all the landmines. It's not going good down there. Ah, but it's going good. I got the money. Wife's good. We just bought this. We're kind of getting ahead. I'm feeling good. No, you're feeling good in the scene. God says, look, like, trust me, lean into me. I'm your source. Let me be your source of life.
