Personal Guidance
Each river and mountain is named — significance is in particulars, not abstractions. Specificity is reverence. Bring the same care to naming the holy in your own life rather than speaking only in vague piety.
Reflection Questions
  • Can I name specific moments, places, and people where grace has acted in my life?
  • Where has vague gratitude let me skip the work of remembering particulars?
