Lydia Brownback, in her little book Contentment, adds this to our discussion on trust yesterday: "It is possible to desire God so much that everything else pales in comparison. Such a yearning rarely happens overnight, but it can happen hour by hour, day by day. Each little difficulty gives us an opportunity to develop it. . . . Each and every time something threatens to steal our peace, we can stop what we are doing and open that raw, painful place to God. . . . We do well to sit with his Word open before us, asking him to reveal himself in our struggle. The more we see, the more we will want. Before we know it, we will find ourselves wanting him even more than we want our problems solved. He himself will be the peace we have been wanting all along." (pp. 56-57)

Isn't that good?
