We Need God In Ways We Do

Therefore Bread Was Created For The Glory Of Christ. Hunger And Thirst Were Created For The Glory Of Christ. And Fasting Was Created For The Glory Of Christ. Which Means That Bread Magnifies Christ In Two Ways: By Being Eaten With Gratitude For His Goodness, And By Being Forfeited Out Of Hunger For God Himself. When We Eat, We Taste The Emblem Of Our Heavenly Food—the Bread Of Life. And When We Fast We Say, “i Love The Reality Above The Emblem.” In The Heart Of The Saint Both Eating And Fasting Are Worship. Both Magnify Christ.

Not Grace To Bar What Is Not Bliss, Nor Flight From All Distress, But This: The Grace That Orders Our Trouble And Pain, And Then, In The Darkness, Is There To Sustain.

Grace Is The Pleasure Of God To Magnify The Worth Of God By Giving Sinners The Right And Power To Delight In God Without Obscuring The Glory Of God.

Now Unto Him Who Is Able To Strengthen You … Be Glory.

The Pursuit Of Joy In God Is Not Optional. It Is Not An 'extra' That A Person Might Grow Into After He Comes To Faith. Until Your Heart Has Hit Upon This Pursuit Your 'faith' Cannot Please God. It Is Not Savng Faith. Saving Faith Is The Heartfelt Conviction Not Only That Christ Is Reliable, But Also That He Is Desirable.
