How much love does our Triune God possess? I often think I’m so smart in wanting to know answers to unanswerable questions. The pondering begins with ‘why’? But reading Isaiah 53 is a profound reflection that God is beyond our understanding, yet He has Huber us the wisdom and grace we need to trust Him. We aren’t taught much about the mystery of letting God handle our unanswerable questions.
“Faith is in the middle of adversity, re-aiming the affections of our heart on a superior reality.
Denial and denying the existence of problems is flat out unbelief. How do we get cultured into that?
We read in the scriptures that all of our human experiences can, under the tutelage of the Holy Spirit, through an open heart, lead us to a place of deeper faith. I believe that with my whole heart, even our deepest grief. But what happens when you can't feel God's presence in your suffering? How do you survive the long stretches where you have felt like he was silent or distant?” - From Win Today podcast #433: The Art of Lament: Aubrey Sampson on Our Weird Pressure to Perform for God, and Why We Have Yet to Be Formed by Mystery in Loss, Mar 26, 2025
“A life deeply rooted in Scripture is absolutely essential for a healthy relationship to God, self, others, and the world at large. Equally essential, though, is a life deeply rooted in the Holy Spirit, who leads by experience and functions in partnership, not competition, with the explanatory Holy Bible.”- Excerpt, The Familiar Stranger by Tyler Staton
