A Question That Reframes Circumstances
- John Ortberg recounts Dallas Willard asking, "What are you doing under there?" when Ortberg said he was doing okay under the circumstances.
- The question reframes living under circumstances versus living immersed in God's care.
Heart As The Life's Control Center
- Ortberg explains 'heart' in Scripture means the executive control center, not just emotions.
- The heart directs life and can be troubled or marked by love, joy, and peace.
Daily Three-Question Check
- Use three daily reflection questions: how troubled was the day, how peaceful was your heart, and what did you learn?
- Track each on a one-to-ten scale to separate outer trouble from inner peace.
