"The people of God are tough. For centuries those who belong to the world have waged war against the way of faith, and they have yet to win."
Eugene Peterson
A Long Obedience In The Same Direction p. 126
I am enjoying, immensely, by study in Psalms. The above quote is such an encouragement to me. Within its context, it's even better, but I prefer to "borrow" words, not plagerize them.
Psalm 129 is where Peterson's thoughts originate from:
"They have greatly oppressed me from my youth, but they have not gained victory over me.
"Plowman have plowed my back and made their furrows long.
"But the Lord is righteous; he has cut me free from the cords of the wicked."
Psalm 129: 2-4
BE ENCOURAGED. We are on the winning team.
As always, I find myself . . .
