God aims to look valuable in the world, and that happens when we treasure him above all else.
John PiperWe ought to celebrate the positive glorious gifts of God, but the worth of God shines in a powerful way to the world when in the midst of suffering we still don't curse God but say "The Lord gave and the Lord takes away, blessed be the name of the Lord."
John PiperOut of the freedom from worry that God's generosity provides comes an impulse toward simplicity rather than accumulation.
