A quest is an intentional journey toward an observable goal. Obedience is a quest—a perpetual intention, a series of deeds, a development of habits that brings us to the observable goal—to be with God & to be like him. Obedience is not the goal. It’s the quest.
A quest is difficult, by nature. It’s an intense endurance exercise that never gets entirely comfortable. There will be stumbling & course correction. There will be scrapes & bruises. There will also be conquered mountains & thrilling vistas.
