O, God of wonder, enlarge my capacity to be amazed at what is amazing, and end my attraction to the insignificant.
John PiperSometimes people stumble over this vastness in relation to the apparent insignificance of man. It does seem to make us infinitesimally small. But the meaning of this magnitude is not mainly about us. It’s about God… The reason for ‘wasting’ so much space on a universe to house a speck of humanity is to make a point about our maker, not us.
John PiperWe give glory to God when we trust him to do what he has promised to do-especially when all human possibilities are exhausted. Faith glorifies God. That is why God planned for faith to be the way we are justified.
John PiperIf God's love for his children is to be measured by our health, wealth, and comfort in this life, God hated the apostle Paul.
