Going to Trust...

You ever feel like you were stuck? You ever feel like there just wasn't a good option? You ever feel happy? You ever feel like things couldn't get any better? Feelings are important... but they do have a way of confusing things, don't they?

Trusting God when things seem bad and when things seem great can be hard to remember. Living with feelings can be hard to do. He is God however. Who else are you going to trust?

Quote of the Week XLI

All too often, however, we are enticed by the worldly substitutes. When facing hardship, we are apt to seek a friend before turning to the Psalms. When tempted to doubt God's provision, we turn to human leaders before going to the words of Jesus. When angry, we seek someone who will justify us rather than the wisdom of Proverbs. Within us all is the tendency to turn to the uninspired books of men ahead of the inspired Book of God. (J. Ligon Duncan, Ph.D. and Randy Stinson, Ph.D. from the preface of Recovering Biblical Manhood and Womanhood. Crossway Books. Wheaton: 2006.)

Clock-time is a plague
A fading shadow of real order
The ticking of the seconds
Is not the sun, is not the moon.

There is a season
But it is not a roman god
There is a time
But we do not decide its beginning or ending.

Real days pass
And real hours come
We move through time like a wave
It mostly moves us.

Bonhoeffer

I just finished a biography on Dietrich Bonhoeffer written by Eric Metaxas. Rarely have I seen such a gift of writing used on a biography. So much to think about. So much to be thankful for. I loved all of it.
