Bible verse and quote
by Jan Couns
The Lord helps the righteous and delivers them; He shall deliver them because they trust in Him. Psalm 37:40 Things may seem to be going all wrong, but He knows as well as we; and He will arise in the right moment if we are really trusting Him so fully as to let Him work in His own way and time. A. B. Simpson
(of David) O Lord, do not rebuke me in Your wrath, Nor chasten me in Your hot displeasure! Ps38:1 A saint's life is in the hands of God like a bow and arrow in the hands of an archer. God is aiming at something the saint cannot see, and he stretches and strains and every now and again the saint says, 'I cannot stand anymore.' God does not heed but goes on stretching till His purpose is in sight. Then he lets fly. Trust yourself in God's hands. Oswald Chambers, d. 1917
For Your arrows sink in me, and Your hand presses heavily on me. Psalm 38:2 Occasionally God has to remind us to confess our sins. Warren Wiersbe, American pastor and a prolific writer of Christian literature, b. 1929
There is no soundness in my flesh Because of Your anger (against sin) Nor any health in my bones Because of my sin. Psalm 38:3 Sin is not hurtful because it is forbidden, but it is forbidden because it is hurtful. Benjamin Franklin, 1706-90, US statesman, diplomat, inventor, printer
My guilt has overwhelmed me like a burden too heavy to bear. Psalm 38:4 Guilt is designed to be a short bridge to conviction. Making your home on the bridge gets you nowhere.
God willing, I’ll be back in August.
