Top Highlights
“The first psalm serves as the gateway to the entire book of Psalms, stressing that those who would worship God genuinely must embrace his Law (or Torah)—that is, his covenant instruction founded on his redeeming grace.” (Page 11)
“Are you groaning today? Your reigning Savior knows what that is like. He too groaned, on a cross, so that every groaning you now experience may result in your ultimate strengthening.” (Page 21)
“Safety. Deliverance. Calmness. God delights to rescue us in our need. How do we know this? Because in Christ he’s already achieved the greatest deliverance and accomplished our greatest safety—deliverance from hell and condemnation, safety from Satan and eternal death. Jesus groaned on the cross in this life so that you and I need never groan in the next one.” (Page 38)
“We see God’s steadfast love in concrete terms, in the great climactic act of deliverance in the person of his own Son. Jesus Christ was steadfast love embodied not merely in an event but in a person.” (Page 40)
“the Holy Spirit delights to bring us into this settled place of contentment: as long as God is exalted, all is well.” (Page 158)
