"If goodness lead him not, then weariness may toss him to God's breast." George Herbert]
O the Wonder.
And we cried and cried and cried again.
Oh, the Awe of it All.
BB Warfield in a famous sermon delivered in 1911 said:
"Familiarity with the things of God will cause you to lose your awe."
Have we spent so much time in strategic local church ministry planning that we have lost our wonder at the Sovereign Planner Who guides our every minute.
Have we spent so much time unpacking the theology of Scripture that we have forgotten the end game of personal holiness. Have we spent so much time in discipling others that we are no longer amazed at the reality of having been chosen to be a disciple of Jesus Christ. [Paul David Tripp]
Psalm 138:3 Make each of us bold with strength in our soul.
Psalm 139:23-24 Search me, O God, and know my heart;
Try me and know my anxious thoughts;
And see if there be any hurtful way in me,
And lead me in the everlasting way.
