If you’re keeping track I haven’t posted anything in over week. As a young Christian, felling unworthy, and in weakness I struggled and fought coming before you much less coming before Him. But in time and in hard lessons He has revealed to me that I was keeping things between Him and me instead of placing Him between these issues and me. It seems I am a slow learning, learning the same things again and again. May it please Him in His patience to give all of us eyes to see, ears to hear, and faith to lean on Him.
Feeding us exactly what we need, when we need it; in the time of my weakness and sorrow it pleased Him to provide me this inspiration. This kind of slapped me in the face and turned my heart back. I pray I rest in His gifts of grace and hope this does for you everything and more than it did for me. From my favorite Arthur W. Pink taken from a paragraph in a book on Elijah I transcribed and titled myself ’Pray to turn my heart back again’
Jhn 9:39 And Jesus said, For judgment I am come into this world, that they which see not might see; and that they which see might be made blind.

"The same thing is observed when we contemplate the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ. ‘For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God... But we preach Christ crucified, unto the Jews a stumbling-block, and unto the Greeks foolishness; but unto them which are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God, and the wisdom of God’ (1 Cor. 1:18, 23, 24). Looked at from a human point of view, the cross presented a spectacle of weakness and foolishness. But, looked at from a Divine point of view, it was the exhibition of power and wisdom, ‘The Jew’, looking at the cross through the hazy medium of traditionary religion stumbled over it; and ‘the Greek’, looking at it from the fancied heights of philosophy, despised it as a contemptible thing. But the faith of a poor sinner, looking at the cross from the depths of conscious guilt and need, found in it a Divine answer to every question, a Divine supply for every need. The death of Christ, like His life, judged every man, and yet it saves all those who accept the judgment and take their true place before God" (C.H.M.) Cesar Malan.
