Psalm 4:1-8, David and Absalom.

“Before we choose to follow God’s will, a crisis must develop in our lives. This happens because we tend to be unresponsive to God’s gentle nudges. He brings us to the place where He asks us to be our utmost for Him and we begin to debate. He then providentially produces a crisis where we have to decide— for or against. That moment becomes a great crossroads in our lives.” - Oswald Chambers

“Complain if you must, but don't lash out. Keep your mouth shut, and let your heart do the talking.” - Eugene Peterson
