Remember: interpretation only comes from Christ. We honor the Lord’s voice by writing down what He shows us and then spending time in His presence to understand the meaning. Sometimes that revelation comes instantly, other times it’s revealed years down the road. It all has a purpose.

It’s very much a needed process for hermit crabs to hide in certain stages of development. So if you find yourself going through seasons of withdrawing from others to spend intimate time with God, don’t allow society or others make you feel ashamed for this. Jesus often withdrew to get away from the crowds.
