Top Highlights
“The prophet’s assistant caught a glimpse of ultimate reality. He learned a lesson that God allows each of us to learn throughout life: there is so much more to life than what we can see. Unless we can learn to expect God’s continual presence in every part of life, we won’t be able to experience his presence when we need it most. So again, my prayer for you as we begin is, ‘O LORD, open their eyes and let them see!’” (source)
“God has the power to help you—even if your whole world is coming down all around you. The political world around you may be in as much turmoil as the emotional world within you. God is a present help for both.” (source)
“You and I, as God’s sheep, have a deadly predator that 1 Peter 5:8 warns us about: ‘Be self-controlled and alert. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour.’” (source)
“The psalmist teaches us that we need to step into God’s presence (God’s sanctuary), stand in the light of truth, and regain an eternal perspective.” (source)
“Job finally reached when he acknowledged that the working out of God’s goodness and sovereignty is a mystery to us mortals.” (source)
