This wasn’t prompted by a new \n study or method of exegesis, but simply my time with Jesus. When I was praying recently, I had a \n picture in my head of my feet standing in miry clay, like thick, swampy mud. One foot was in \n insecurity, and one foot was in arrogance. In the picture, God’s desire for me wasn’t to stand in one or \n the other, but to step out of both and onto the rock of Him, where my true identity lies. Finding our \n identity in Christ is ultimately a function of trusting in Him, believing that He made us and He knows \n best.","bbox":{"left":0.058824,"top":0.1854,"width":0.881215,"height":0.12279200000000001}},{"text":"Not long after this, I read Ephesians 2:4-10.
