Don’t try staring at the sun. But how will you see the Lord when He appears “as golden splendor”?

The Lord can speak His “Shalom!” to the storm. Or, as the storm rages, He can speak peace to us! 

“The Lord has His way in the whirlwind and in the storm, and the clouds are the dust of His feet” (Nah 1:3). 

“In all their affliction He was afflicted, and the Angel of His Presence saved them” (Isa 63:9). 

How motivating it is to know that the God of heaven is slow to anger but eager to forgive! 

How can I have “the tongue of the learned” (Isa 50:4)? I’ll need first “to hear as the learned” from the Lord.

“One of the greatest rewards for serving God is the permission to do still more for Him.” —C.H. Spurgeon 

Is being half-right better than all wrong? Not if it makes you presume you know more than you do. 

It is an unsettling mistake God’s people often make, that if I can’t see the Lord, then He doesn’t see me. 

“To love all men is the greatest virtue; to be impartial in love is the greatest wisdom.” —Mencius
