Oswald Chambers, The Shadow of an Agony
"The same thing happens in an agony as happens when you suddenly open your door and window during a hurricane; the wind disarranges everything. It plays havoc, and knocks things into confusion, but also brings a totally new circulation of air; and very often the man who has been knocked around by an agony begins to form a new mind, and is better able to appreciate the New Testament view of the Cross of Jesus Christ."

But the land into which you are about to cross to possess it, a land of hills and valleys, drinks water from the rain of heaven, a land for which the Lord your God cares; the eyes of the Lord your God are always on it, from the beginning even to the end of the year. Deuteronomy 11:10-11 I will leave this almost without comment. It's a picture -- Cease striving and know that He is God.
He is the land; He is also the rain that waters the land. I think the idea is to plunge in and drink, even when there appears to be no rain in sight. |
All thy sins were laid upon Him, Jesus bore them on the tree;
God, who knew them, laid them on Him, and, believing, thou art free. Joseph Denham Smith (c. 1817-1889) Praise reflection archives
