FAILURE TO BELIEVE GOD'S UNFAILING LOVE

We would not trust in ourselves, but in God who raises the dead. 2 Corinthians 1:9

I'd go so far as to say that the deeper we have loved God, the deeper the potential for devastation when He doesn't intervene as we know He can.

In Psalm 51:1, King David cried out, "Have mercy on me, O God, / according to your unfailing love." Please receive this truth: God cannot be unbiased toward you. He cannot set His love for you aside and make an objective decision. Once you become God's covenant child, He cannot see you through anything less than a loving Father's eyes.

Oh God, as we begin this journey, our hearts are so full of anticipation. God, we want to be different. We invite You to do a work in us that we cannot even

God is spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth. John 4:24

Christ will return for a pure bride, a state of being that necessitates deep, internal works. God's eyes are fastened with eternal intentions on the inner man. That's why sometimes God may prioritize performing a miracle on our hearts and minds over a miracle concerning our circumstances.

The titanic difference between God's affections and ours is that His are incorruptible. We process information about Him as if His emotions were created in our image rather than ours in His image. The original source of all emotion is utterly undefiled.

Fourteen years lapsed between the time Paul first tried to fit in with the apostles and when he finally received the right hand of fellowship. I'd like to suggest the hand didn't come a moment behind schedule. What use would God have had for Paul if he simply turned out to be another James? Another Peter? Another John? His mission was distinct. And so, Beloved, is yours. God knows what He's doing! Trust Him. God is busy making you someone no one else has ever been.

You are the Lord my God. I desire to love You, listen to Your voice, and hold fast to You, for You, Lord, are my life (Deut. 30:20).

God's mercy is new every morning, and, like manna in the wilderness, He apportions it according to our need.

My God will supply all your needs according to His riches in glory in Christ Jesus. Philippians 4:19

The level of trust we have for God is a monumental issue in the life of every believer. Many variables in our lives affect our willingness to trust God. A loss or betrayal can deeply mark our level of trust. A broken heart never mended handicaps us terribly when we're challenged to trust. Trusting an invisible God doesn't come naturally to any believer. A trust relationship grows only by stepping out in faith and making the choice to trust.

One of the most mysterious aspects about God communicated in Scripture is that His knowledge about what would transpire didn't necessarily preclude His heightened hopes of something different. He didn't always spare Himself the shock of something appalling, even though He saw it coming. Even a predestined conclusion didn't spare God the emotion of the result. Perhaps most significantly, knowing why didn't keep God from asking why (Isaiah 5:4 and Mark 15:34).

We finally learn that under God's umbrella, we are free to sing in the rain. Outside God's umbrella, we nearly drown in the flood.

Sometimes we yearn for God to crack open a receptive door to share our faith. We scramble to grab an opportunity that never seems to come. Other times God swings open a door so quickly we're too stunned to walk through it!

Jesus is not a superhuman. He is God. The beloved, divine Son of Him who occupies the throne of all creation.

Like water spilled on the ground, which cannot be recovered, so we must die. But God does not take away life; instead, he devises ways so that a banished person may not remain estranged from him. (2 Sam. 14:14)

A powerful motivation for believing God in our present is intentionally remembering how He's worked in our past.

women's enrichment ministry. Beth immediately said she wanted me to do a version of the study for men because David should not be restricted to women's ministry. We agreed to pray and see what God would do. In October 1998 Broadman & Holman asked us to do the present volume. We are tremendously excited about what God has done—exceeding abundantly above all that we asked or thought (Eph. 3:20). We pray that this volume
