The author who benefits you most is not the one who tells you something you did not know before, but the one who gives expression to the truth that has been dumbly struggling in you for utterance.

— Oswald Chambers

Why God Shows Us Things

If God has shown us bad times ahead, it’s enough for me that He knows about them. That’s why He sometimes shows us things, you know – to tell us that this too is in His hands.

– Corrie ten Boom

CS Lewis, God, house, Mere Christianity

Imagine yourself as a living house. God comes in to rebuild that house. At first, perhaps, you can understand what He is doing. He is getting the drains right and stopping the leaks in the roof and so on; you knew that those jobs needed doing and so you are not surprised. But presently He starts knocking the house about in a way that hurts abominably and does not seem to make any sense. What on earth is He up to? The explanation is that He is building quite a different house from the one you thought of – throwing out a new wing here, putting on an extra floor there, running up towers, making courtyards. You thought you were being made into a decent little cottage: but He is building a palace. He intends to come and live in it Himself.

— C.S. Lewis (Mere Christianity)

“… whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be delivered.”
~ Joel 2:32 KJV

Jesus walked on the water, calmed the raging sea, healed the sick and delivered those possessed with devils. That same Jesus will deliver you out of any circumstance you face today. Remember how far He has brought you from. You will not go down in defeat.
