Perhaps We Should Stop Talking About Being Faithful To Have A Quiet Time With God Each Day, As If We Were Doing Something To Earn A Reward. It Would Be Better To Talk About The Privilege Of Spending Time With The God Of The Universe And The Importance For Our Own Sake Of Being Consistent In That Practice.

In His Infinite Wisdom, God Allows Trials In Order To Develop Perseverance In Us And To Cause Us To Fix Our Hopes On The Glory That Is Yet To Be Revealed... Our Faith And Perseverance Can Grow Only Under The Pain Of Trial.

The Wisdom Of The Chess Player Is Displayed More In Winning Over A Capable Opponent Than A Novice. The Wisdom Of The General Is Displayed More In Defeating A Superior Army Than In Subduing An Inferior One. Even More So, The Wisdom Of God Is Displayed When He Brings Good To Us And Glory To Himself Out Of Confusion And Calamity Rather Than Out Of Pleasant Times.

...god Has Made Provision For Our Holiness. Through Christ He Has Delivered Us From Sin's Reign So That We Now Can Resist Sin. But The Responsibility For Resisting Is Ours. God Does Not Do That For Us. To Confuse The Potential For Resisting (which God Provided) With The Responsibility For Resisting (which Is Ours) Is To Court Disaster In Our Pursuit Of Holiness.

Even Our Tears Of Repentance Need To Be Washed In The Blood Of The Lamb.
