“There is greater cause why princes should be afraid of God, than why God’s people should be afraid of princes.”

I can’t remember a time a commentary helped me enjoy God this much — so much wisdom and beauty drawn out of the Psalms. Just wonderful.

“There was a man who dwelt in the east centuries ago,
And now I cannot look at a sheep or a sparrow,

A vineyard or a mountain, without thinking of him.”

Our power is in our reliance. We give Jesus our weakness. Jesus gives us his strength. We give Jesus our not-knowing. Jesus gives us his wisdom & revelation. We give Jesus our frustration. Jesus gives us his promises. We give Jesus our fears. Jesus gives us his courage.

“Have mercy on me, my God, have mercy on me, for in you I take refuge. I will take refuge in the shadow of your wings until the disaster is passed.” Ps 57:1

“If there is magic, then there is a magician… So, if you want to keep yourself sane, you have to regard all of this as if it were a gift for you. If there is a gift, there is love.
