"We are perhaps better situated now to understand precisely why God says that His servant Job spoke of Him 'what was right,' while the three miserable comforters did not. True, Job is rebuked for darkening the Lord’s counsel: he became guilty of an arrogance that dared to demand that God give an account of His actions. But Job has been genuinely groping for the truth, and has not allowed glib answers to deter him. He denies neither God’s sovereignty nor (at least in most of his statements!) God’s justice. Above all ... he never turns his back on God." Don Carson, 'How Long O Lord?' Photo - www.pixabay.com.
"To those who do not know God, to those who insist on being God, this outcome will never suffice. Those who do know God come in time to recognize that it is better to know God and to trust God than to claim the rights of God. "Job teaches us that, at least in this world, there will always remain some mysteries to suffering. He also teaches us to exercise faith—not blind, thoughtless submission to an impersonal status quo, but faith in the God who has graciously revealed Himself to us." Don Carson, 'How Long O Lord?' Photo by Klaus Dieter vom Wangenheim - www.pixabay.com.
Many people seem to think God owes us an explanation. He doesn't. No one would dare demand that of an earthly king. Why then dare demand it of the King of the universe? He has revealed Himself to us so we can know Him, He has provided at enormous cost the means of reconciliation. That should be enough. (Inspired by 'How Long O Lord?' by Don Carson).

"But in all these things we overwhelmingly conquer through Him who loved us. For I am convinced that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers, nor height, nor depth, nor any other created thing will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord."

"God’s ways run counter to our intuitions. He works in defiance of what our puny minds can predict. The cross is the supreme instance of this. In the Old Testament, His way was through the sea. In the New Testament, His way is through the cross. The gracious provision of God confounds us even as it delivers us." Dane Ortlund on Psalm 77, 'In The Lord I Take Refuge'. Photo by Guilherme Reis - www.pixabay.com.
"He asks only for our penitent faith, our trusting contrition—all He asks is that we humble ourselves enough to know of our need for His saving mercy. The psalmist prays that “God’s saving power” would be known throughout all the earth (v. 2). "For us today, this saving power has been climactically displayed in the Lord Jesus Christ. In Jesus and His work on our behalf, we see the length to which God would go to draw men and women everywhere into the blessing of enjoying the radiant face of God shining down on them." Dane Ortlund on Psalm 67, 'In The Lord I Take Refuge'. Photo by Jo Spargo - www.pixabay.com.
"The heart of Christianity is not a set of doctrines to believe, even though sound doctrine is vital. Nor is the heart of Christianity an activity to pursue, even though the Christian faith is necessarily active. Nor is it essentially a set of disciplines, even though without reading the Bible and praying we will not get far in the Christian life. The heart of Christianity is—to use a phrase from John Bunyan, the old Puritan preacher and writer—“to live upon God.” You were made for God. To know Him. Enjoy Him. Revere Him. Draw strength from Him. Trust Him. Love Him." Dane Ortlund on Psalm 63, 'In The Lord I Take Refuge'. Photo by Tony Cordaro - www.pixabay.com.

"Christians will take refuge from their questions about suffering not in bitterness, self-pity, resentment against God, or trite clichés and religious cant, but in endurance, perseverance, and faith in the God who has suffered, who has fought with evil and triumphed, and whose power and goodness ensure that faith resting in Him is never finally disappointed." Don Carson, 'How Long O Lord'. Photo by Julian Hacker - www.pixabay.com.
"In short, God is less interested in answering our questions than in other things: securing our allegiance, establishing our faith, nurturing a desire for holiness. An important part of spiritual maturity is bound up with this obvious truth. God tells us a great deal about Himself; but the mysteries that remain are not going to be answered at a merely theoretical and intellectual level. We may probe a little around the edges, using the minds God has given us to glimpse something of His glory. But ultimately the Christian will take refuge from questions about God not in proud, omniscient explanations but in adoring worship." Don Carson, 'How Long O Lord'. Photo by Pexels - www.pixabay.com.
"Yet God is a personal God who responds. That is one of the great lessons of the psalms; it is one of the grand assumptions of the prayers of Paul. We have already observed a number of instances in which David, oppressed by illness, enemies, defeat, tragedy, guilt, turns to the Lord and begs Him not to hide His face. The Lord responds, and the psalm ends in a shout of triumph." Don Carson, 'How Long O Lord'. Photo by Lee Watts - www.pixabay.com.

"Rejection’s ultimate mission is to make you a victim of your past pain and limitations. That negative resistance you feel when you try to break into new patterns is rejection seeking to keep you as a victim ... a victim is so focused on the story of bondage that he can’t see the armor he’s wearing that is capable of slaying rejection. Therefore,this becomes the cap that gets handed off to the next generation. This continues until someone wakes up and says, 'It stops with me.'" Mark DeJesus, 'Exposing The Rejection Mindset'. Photo by Grae Dickason - www.pixabay.com.
Jesus is not just emphasizing quality time with Himself. The value here is that relational connection is always the higher priority than serving. The gold nugget is that a loving relationship is the greatest place of value in the Kingdom; more than any activity or performance…. period. A key exercise in breaking out of the performance trap involves making relationships a top priority. We must make non-negotiable time for intimate connection with God, but this must be reflected by our increasing value for loving others and growing in relationships with those around us. Performance strongholds make no time for this, because relationships take them away from the hamster wheel of productivity. Photo by Helena Lopes - www.pexels.com.
LIES OF PERFORMANCE The greatest way you can identify performance is when you live under pressure. A series of lies come along that keep the pressure of performance intact. ● I must excel or achieve to belong or be accepted. ● My performance gives me status in life. ● I’m secure only when I am productive. ● If I do something wrong, it means I am bad. ● If I don’t perform well, I won’t be loved and won’t belong.

"While Solomon reigned over the entire territory of Israel, Jesus reigns over the entire universe. He told the disciples, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to Me.” (Matt. 28:18) "While Solomon had many wives, Jesus has only one bride. He loves her and gave Himself up for her. He has no intention of accommodating her worship of other gods but has cleansed her so that she might be holy and without blemish (Eph. 5:25-27)." Nancy Guthrie, 'The Son of David'. Photo by Larry Clark - www.pixabay.com.
"While Solomon ushered in an era of peace for Israel with her enemies, Jesus makes it possible for enemies of God to have peace with God. “For in Him all the fullness of God was pleased to dwell, and through Him to reconcile to Himself all things, whether on earth or in heaven, making peace by the blood of His cross” (Col. 1:19-20). "While Solomon built a temple that was eventually torn down, Jesus is the temple who was raised up. “Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up,” He said (John 2:19), which is just what He did when he rose from the grave." Nancy Guthrie, 'The Son of David'. Photo from www.pixabay.com.
"The reality is that you and I cannot be totally consecrated or wholeheartedly devoted to God on our own. But Jesus has invited us to be joined to Him so that through Him, we who have been unfaithful can be made perfectly and enduringly faithful. "While Solomon accumulated riches, Jesus became poor. “For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though He was rich, yet for your sake He became poor, so that you by His poverty might become rich” (2 Cor. 8:9). We have been made rich in salvation benefits because Jesus impoverished Himself on the cross." Nancy Guthrie, 'The Son of David'. Photo by Pri Pat - www.pixabay.com.

"In a modern world that presumes God’s absence, or lack of concern, ‘Christ is God crying I am here.’ Because of Jesus, we have the assurance that whatever disturbs us, disturbs God more. Whatever grief we feel, God feels more. And whatever we long for, God longs for more." Philip Yancey, 'The Question That Never Goes Away'. Photo by jplenio - www.pixabay.com.
"From Jesus I learn that God is on the side of the sufferer. God entered the drama of human history as one of its characters, not with a display of omnipotence but in a most intimate and vulnerable way. On a small scale, person-to-person, Jesus encountered the kinds of suffering common to all of us. And how did He respond? Avoiding philosophical theories and theological lessons, He reached out with healing and compassion. He forgave sin, healed the afflicted, cast out evil and even overcame death. From His brief time on earth we gain not only a bright and shining clue to the future but also a clear example of how we His followers should respond to those who suffer." Philip Yancey, 'The Question That Never Goes Away'. Photo by jplenio - www.pixabay.com.
"The Christian faith, building on its Jewish foundation, has a view so nuanced as to seem paradoxical. On one hand it encourages protest, even supplying the very words to use. On the other hand, as I’ve mentioned, a defiant shaft of hope illuminates the Bible’s passages of protest. Followers of Jesus stake their claim on the firm belief that God will one day heal the planet of pain and death. Until that day arrives, the case against God must rely on incomplete evidence. We cannot really reconcile our pain-wracked world with a loving God because what we experience now is not the same as what God intends. Jesus Himself prayed that God’s will ‘be done, on earth as it is in heaven’," Philip Yancey - 'The Question That Never Goes Away'. Photo by jplenio - www.pixabay.com.

But Jesus called them to Himself and said, “You know that the rulers of the Gentiles domineer over them, and those in high position exercise authority over them. It is not this way among you, but whoever wants to become prominent among you shall be your servant, and whoever desires to be first among you shall be your slave; just as the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life as a ransom for many.” Matthew 20:25-28 Photo from www.pixabay.com
In the parable of the two debtors Matthew 18:23-35, the first man who had been forgiven 60,000,000 denarii refused to forgive a man who owed him 100 denarii. Lord I pray, may I be humbled by the hugeness of the mercy You have shown me, forgiving me my infinite debt of sin. In Jesus's Name Amen. Photo by Frank Winkler - www.pixabay.com.
"Prayer is offered to a Mighty God, One who commonly does His greatest work on earth in response to the prayers of His humble people." Leon Morris on Matthew 18:19-20, Pillar commentary on Matthew "Again, truly I tell you that if two of you on earth agree about anything they ask for, it will be done for them by My Father in heaven. For where two or three gather in My Name, there am I with them.” Matthew 18:19-20 Photo by Pexels - www.pixabay.com.

“God has not been trying an experiment on my faith or love in order to find out their quality. He knew it already. It was I who didn’t. In this trial He makes us occupy the dock, the witness box, and the bench all at once. He always knew that my temple was a house of cards. His only way of making me realize the fact was to knock it down." C S Lewis Toby Mac Speaklife #speaklife #tobymac
"You're treating God only as a means to Michael. But the whole thickening treatment consists in learning to want God for His own sake...You mean, if I I were only a mother. But there is no such thing as being only a mother. You exist as Michael's mother only because you first exist as God's creature. That relation is older and closer. No, listen, Pam! He also loves. He also has suffered. He also has waited a long time!" C.S. Lewis. Toby Mac Speaklife #speaklife #tobymac
The Lord’s purpose in our trials is always good. He pushes us far enough beyond our own resources to teach us to trust Him and depend on Him, but not far enough to crush us. "And we know that God causes all things to work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose." Romans 8:28. Toby Mac Speaklife #speaklife #tobymac

"Lord, You have searched me and known me. You know when I sit down and when I get up; You understand my thought from far away. You scrutinize my path and my lying down, and are acquainted with all my ways. Even before there is a word on my tongue, Behold, Lord, You know it all. You have encircled me behind and in front, And placed Your hand upon me. Such knowledge is too wonderful for me; It is too high, I cannot comprehend it." Psalm 139:1-6. Truth for Life on Facebook
