A coronary Christian

I told you already that I am reading through Dr. Piper's book called  Life As A Vapor, which is a book with 31 different meditations. So good. I highly recommend it to you.

Today's meditation was on being a coronary Christian versus an adrenal one. Piper writes of William Wilberforce (someone whom he considered a coronary Christian),

"He saw that adrenal spurts would ever prevail: "I daily become more sensible that my work must be affected by constant and regular exertions rather than by sudden and violent ones" (Polluck, 116). '

This quote describes a coronary believer...someone who consistently and regularly seeks after the Lord. This road of faith in Christ is a marathon and not a sprint. Isn't that true?

I needed the reminder today.
Praise God for His goodness...
