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[Just remember, ... my grandstand's bigger than your grandstand. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/30344]]></link><description><![CDATA[Just remember, ... my grandstand's bigger than your grandstand.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/30344</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I have trodden the winepress alone; and of the people there was none with me: for I will tread them ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58196]]></link><description><![CDATA[I have trodden the winepress alone; and of the people there was none with me: for I will tread them in mine anger, and trample them in my fury; and their blood shall be sprinkled upon my garments, and I will stain all my raiment.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58196</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If a man will begin with certainties, he shall end in doubts, but if he will be content to begin ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14570]]></link><description><![CDATA[If a man will begin with certainties, he shall end in doubts, but if he will be content to begin with doubts, he shall end in certainties.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14570</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Why an arbitrary figure of 30 days?
