[A pagan] points to the sun and says again, "Look, there's my god! Where is yours?" He has found something he can demonstrate to my bodily eyes. For me it is different, not because I have nothing to demonstrate but because he lacks the kind of eyes to which I could demonstrate it. He was able to point the sun out to my bodily eyes as his god, but how can I point out to any eyes he has the sun's Creator?-St. Augustine

Comm on Ps 32: God wants us to confess our sins, not because he himself cannot know them but because the devil longs to find something to charge us with before the tribunal of the eternal Judge and wants us to defend rather than to acknowledge our sins. Our God, on the contrary, because he is good and merciful, wants us to confess them in this world so we will not be confounded by them later on in the world to come.

Sample quote from Basil the Great commenting on Psalm 29: The cedar is at time praised by Scripture as a stable tree, free from decay, fragrant, and adequate for supplying shelter, but at times it is attacked as unfruitful and hard to bend, so that it offers a representation of impiety.

is starting
I am finally starting this book since my pastor is doing a Psalm-a-week commentary. So I will read about a psalm each week to keep up. My plan is to read first, then watch his video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jYMsN... is the first one). I have some catch-up to do!
