We say, “I can’t go on.” Jesus says, “I will hold you so you can.” We say, “But I don’t think I can even believe that.” Jesus says, “Even when you are faithless, I will be faithful to you.” We say, “But I feel so alone.” Jesus says, “I am Immanuel, God-with-you,…

God's first words after the Fall were, "Where are you?" It's only one word in Hebrew: אַיֶּכָּה (ayyekkah). In that one word is compressed a whole theology: -God seeks out the lost sinner. -God welcomes him to confess. -God desires his restoration. -God works his redemption.

It is good for me that I was afflicted, that I might learn your statutes. -Psalm 119:71 Trials that we never wanted, but that came our way, awaken us from slumber to seek the God who has never left our side, but whom we so often, and so foolishly, forget is there.

How Long, O Lord? It is no surprise that one of the most common questions in the Psalms is, “O Lord, how long….?” O Lord, how long until you take away the cancer that’s attacking my body? O Lord, how long will I get turned away from every company I apply to? O Lord, how long…

In the hardships of life, as well as in our deepest woes, only in hindsight do we realize the hidden hand of God at work in them. He is not making us stronger but showing us how weak we are in ourselves, that we might live solely in the strength that Christ provides.

The Lord didn’t check who inside the house was worthy. He checked for blood on the doorposts. None of us is worthy. Only the blood of Jesus can cover us.

If Jesus rose from the dead, then you have to accept all that he said; if he didn’t rise from the dead, then why worry about any of what he said? The issue on which everything hangs is not whether or not you like his teaching but whether or not he rose from the dead.

Only let the restraining hand of providence and grace be taken away, and the wisest of us might become a very madman with the rage of sin. O God, teach us to know our hearts, and help us, while we remember how black they are, never to be proud.

Heaven will not wipe away your tears. Nor angels. Nor loved ones. Only Jesus, with scarred and tender hands. One by one by one.
