If you are pleased with me, teach me your ways so I may know you and continue to find favor with you.

Exodus 33:13

Lord, grant me the courage to ask for your humility morning after morning.

He’s not finished with me yet.

Wait for the Lord; be strong and take heart and wait for the Lord.

Psalm 27:14

Fear is something God designed, not the devil. God designed fear so that we would flee real danger. Fear is meant to be a mercy. Its purpose is to direct us to safety. When our soul is ordered right, we fear the Lord and turn away from evil.

John Piper

Humble yourselves, therefore, under God’s mighty hand, that he may lift you up in due time.

1 Peter 5:6

This week needs to end. Now.

Far too many overtly public violent events, so much death.

I keep trying to lift my head up, but it’s getting tough.

Jesus, I lift my eyes
To thee I breathe my soul’s desires

I don’t believe God never gives us more than we can handle. He does.

The point is He carries our burdens when we can’t handle them on our own.

His ultimate concern is not to get you or me from point A to point B along the quickest, easiest, smoothest, clearest route possible. Instead, his ultimate concern is that you and I would know him deeply as we trust him more completely.
