“Thus, for the good and safety of His people, He overrules all the creatures, even the devil himself, who, we see, dared not attempt anything against Job without His permission and command. This knowledge is necessarily followed by gratitude in prosperity, patience in adversity, and incredible security for the time to come.”
Of course the sections on God’s sovereignty is impacting my Presbyterian heart the most

“Let him, therefore, who would beware of such unbelief, always bear in mind, that there is no random power, or agency, or motion in the creatures, who are so governed by the secret counsel to God, that nothing happens but what He has knowingly and willingly decreed.”

Really enjoying this section on the sovereignty of God over creation!

Bringing me right back to the wonder I felt when I first read this book years ago!

“‘It’s very difficult to be right about something without hurting someone with it.’ We need to remember that not-yet-Christians are not the enemy; they’re victims of the enemy.”

The goal is to finish the first book by the end of the year 😅😅

Very interesting so far! The book is divided into 12 virtues with examples from 12 different works of literature to give basis to the authors discussion of the virtue. Definitely giving me some new books to add to my tbr!
