It rests upon a conviction that God is the Sole Source of Holiness, and that our part is to lean upon Him and be absolutely guided and governed by Him; and it necessitates an abiding hold on Him, a perpetual habit of listening for His Voice within the heart, as of readiness to obey the dictates of that Voice.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7733</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I pull you from your tower, take away your pain.

And this is the curiosity and niceness of divine love: this is the fear of God, and is the daughter and production of love.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7374</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Continuing a series on the person of Jesus:  Jesus ventured to trust God far beyond the degree that any ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6216]]></link><description><![CDATA[Continuing a series on the person of Jesus:  Jesus ventured to trust God far beyond the degree that any other man had trusted God. Abraham, Moses, and David were valiant believers, but compared to Jesus they were timid souls. Consider the human disappointments Jesus endured: rejected in his home town, harassed and persecuted by the religious leaders of his nation, misunderstood by his own family, betrayed with a kiss and abandoned by all his followers. Yet through it all Jesus never complained or rebelled against God; he trusted God even on the cross. Psalm 34 sets forth Jesus' pioneering discovery of God's faithfulness and delivering power. Thus Jesus was "delivered from all his fears" (v 4), "saved ... out of all his troubles" (v 6), "delivered out of all his afflictions" (v 19).  Certainly Jesus is our primary teacher and example in trusting God. If David could teach his followers to trust in God, how much more Jesus. As we see the steadfast faith of our Lord through weariness, disappointment, rejection, and even death on a cross, we cannot but be encouraged to believe that God can deliver us through our small trials. That is why we should run the race set before us looking unto Jesus.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6216</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When we have done our best, we should wait the result in peace. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/21923]]></link><description><![CDATA[When we have done our best, we should wait the result in peace.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/21923</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Regrets are idle; yet history is one long regret.
