Harvests from My Twitter Feed

I've been enjoying my new Twitter account this month.  Here's some interesting harvests from my Twitter feed.

Security is not to be found in your wisdom and strength, but in the moment by moment grace that meets you in your weakness. @PaulTripp

If we don’t see how Jesus fits into the Big Story the Bible is telling we invariably reduce the gospel to postmortem hell avoidance. @BrianZahnd

Stability= the realization that God is not elsewhere. @dlongenecker1

 GK Chesterton: "The worst moment for the atheist is when he is really thankful and has nobody to thank." @TonyReinke

"Sin has been pardoned at such a price that we cannot henceforth trifle with it." (Spurgeon) @NancyDeMoss

Security is not found in the temporary acceptance of people, but in the eternal acceptance of the Father by the grace of Jesus. @PaulTripp

The Path of Delightful Firmnesss

"but his delight is in the law of the Lord,and on his law he meditates day and night." (Psalm 1:2 ESV)

"I will delight in your statutes; I will not forget your word."  (Psalm 119:16 ESV)

Why would one delight in the Law (rules, statutes, Commandments) of God? Delight in grace is easy to understand - but joy in the Law not so much.  Here's C. S. Lewis' wise explanation:

"Their delight in the Law, is a delight in having touched firmness; like the pedestrians delight in feeling the hard road beneath his feet after a false short cut has long entangled him in muddy fields."

          - From C.S. Lewis, Reflections on the Psalms, page 55

I hope you stay out of the mud today.
