The Little Things

On the night before the cross, in the agony of Gethsemane, Jesus gave His three closest disciples one job: stay awake and pray. Three times He asked; three times they slept. In this episode, Blake looks at why that failure was so tragic — and what it reveals about how the big moments of our lives are really won or lost.Anchored in Mark 14:38, this devotional takes an unexpected turn through a lesson Blake learned running a landscaping company: a whole lot of little issues become one big issue. The same is true of the soul. Spiritual readiness for the big temptations and trials isn't summoned in the crisis — it's built in the small, ordinary moments of daily dependence on God. You can't draw on a reserve you never built.Follow Before the Lord on Facebook (@BeforeTheLord) and Instagram (@beforethelorddevo).
