We see frequent examples in Scripture of why we should rejoice over the results versus the motivation. When other men began to prophesy Joshua was concerned, but Moses rejoiced (Numbers 11:26-29). When a man was casting out demons, the disciples were concerned, but Jesus said to let him continue (Mark 9:38-41). Paul said some people were preaching the gospel with good motivation and others with bad motivation, but he rejoiced that the gospel was being preached Philippians 1:15-18). The prodigal son returned to his father because he was hungry (Luke 15:17). We can rejoice he returned home.

“Staying true to the approachable and encouraging style of the original book, this workbook is written in a clear and engaging style that not only challenges readers to pursue growth but is also truly encouraging and uplifting. Over three months, readers are invited to become more deeply rooted in Christ, with LaPierre artfully drawing on the metaphor of a believer as a tree, whose strength and stability come from its root system grounded in Christ." #beingcontentgodsway
