In our eyes, the job is not yet done; and such an action would be, though we would not put it so, an interference. But suppose our hope rests in the purpose of God: then we safely leave the timing of the earthly experiment to Him. Meanwhile, we do what we were told to do -- to be alert and to work and pray for the spread of His Kingdom.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7931</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[And thine eye shall not pity; but life shall go for life, eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52547]]></link><description><![CDATA[And thine eye shall not pity; but life shall go for life, eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52547</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Higher education has seen its percentage of general fund decline. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/32433]]></link><description><![CDATA[Higher education has seen its percentage of general fund decline.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/32433</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When the FedEx guy showed up with the medal, I was so excited. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/35435]]></link><description><![CDATA[When the FedEx guy showed up with the medal, I was so excited.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/35435</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The miracle is not to fly in the air, or to walk on the water, but to walk on the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63087]]></link><description><![CDATA[The miracle is not to fly in the air, or to walk on the water, but to walk on the earth.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63087</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[What then are we afraid of?
