They pack their days with activities, but lack focus or a sense of mission with their lives. It&rsquo;s easy to do that because you face endless diversions, choices, and things to invest in. God has a better plan. He invites you to resist the temptation to wander, to think like a nomad. He invites you to become a spiritual warrior who embraces all the great tasks only God&rsquo;s people can do!

The big answer is &lsquo;sin&rsquo;. But one of the sins God dislikes intensely is self-reliance. In Zechariah chapter 9 God promises judgment on communities who think they don&rsquo;t need him. Conversely, he summons his people to depend on him and flourish. Where do we tend to be self-sufficient and miss out on God&rsquo;s best? What awaits us if we are willing to become more dependent on God?

This one is concerned about your heart, your world, and the details of your life. It&rsquo;s the person with a shepherd heart.
