The focus of our devotions lately has been the presence of God -- that central Biblical thread running from Adam walking in the garden with Him through His covenant promise to us and Abraham, all the way into eternity when God will once again dwell with us in the fullest of senses. I like what Abraham Kuyper had to say in his 'Lectures on Calvinism':
"Thanks to this work of God in the heart, the persuasion that the whole of a man's life is to be lived as in the Divine Presence has become the fundamental thought of Calvinism. By this decisive idea, or rather this mighty fact, it has allowed itself to be controlled in every department of its entire domain. It is from this mother-thought that the all-embracing life system of Calvinism sprung."
While we're on theology, I have to brag on the Duchess a bit. I just popped into our bedroom and found her curled up with Berkof's Systematic. You gotta love a woman who reads systematic theology for fun.

I am running a series of posts on our heart orientation in prayer. It may be right up your alley. I am a reformed pastor and am from 15 years in the vineyard.
Nice mix, I think.
God Bless,
