    The definition of spiritual stability

    What is spiritual stability? How is it defined? Spiritual stability that comes from biblical contentment is: sweet, inward, quiet, can only be achieved by God's grace, is freely chosen, is submitted to God, and takes pleasure in God’s wisdom and will in every situation. Psalm 42: 1-5 As the deer pants for streams of water,    so my soul pants for you, my God. My soul thirsts for God, for the living God.    When can I go and meet with God? My tears have been my food    day and night, while people say to me all day long,    “Where is your God?” These things I remember    as I pour out my soul: how I used to go to the house of God    under the protection of the Mighty One[d] with shouts of joy and praise    among the festive throng. Why, my soul, are you downcast?    Why so disturbed within me? Put your hope in God,    for I will yet praise him,    my Savior and my God. Theme music and podcast cover art by Christian Da Ponte

Many of us are craving some certainty or comfort in the face of a prolonged pandemic and an unpredictable future.
