This Thanksgiving is a great time to pause, reflect, and soak in the words of Psalm 23:1, “The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.”
Pastor Larry Burtoft of Valley Vista Christian Community in Van Nuys, California, invited Dallas Willard to deliver a series of talks. Willard’s talks ultimately led to the book entitled Life Without Lack, which Larry co-edited with Dallas’ daughter, Becky Willard Heatley.
Burtoft observes, “Dallas Willard discovered the secret to gaining what many people have sacrificed so much in time, money, and relationships trying to possess. In a word, contentment.”
Like the apostle Paul said in Philippians 4:11, “I have learned, in whatsoever state I am, therewith to be content.”
Dallas believed it was possible to keep our minds constantly on God and that this was the heart and soul of spiritual formation in the kingdom of God.
