“As it is written, Behold, I lay in Sion a stumblingstone and rock of offence: and whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed” (Romans 9:33).

If I believe in Jesus, no shame.

If I live for Jesus, no shame.

If I build my life on Jesus, no shame.

If I am faithful to Jesus to the end, no shame.

Yes!

Here is what I emailed a couple of close friends last night:

    Is there no break for us?

    Or peace?

    Or rest?

    Things continue to pile on. I must be a difficult learner or a tough nut to crack or something.

    We have a Refuge, I know.

Now this morning I read this:

“We glory in tribulations also: knowing that tribulation worketh patience” (Romans 5:3).

May God give me His perspective on tribulation because I’m certainly not to the place (yet?) where I glory in them.
