In Sunday school the women of our church are going through a book written by Paul David Tripp called Instruments in the Redeemers Hands. We're reading through the book on our own but there is a video series and study by Tripp that we are doing together.
Since the book doesn't go directly with the videos and each chapter is so packed, I'm only on chapter five.
But this is what I read the other day:
"He (God) is a Warrior King, who will not rest when we are captive to other kings. He fights for us, for the thoughts and desires of our hearts.... We are not battling by ourselves - God battles for us! James (4:1-10) is saying, 'Don't you know that the Spirit who lives inside you envies intensely? In the middle if the battle you can't forget that God is a jealous God. He loves you too much to make room for other lovers. He will oppose your proud and self-absorbed living, not because He is against you, but because He loves you.' Praise God that He will settle for nothing short of the final victory in our hearts. Our hope to be who we were meant to be is directly tied to His jealous desire for our hearts."
He will not leave us to ourselves. He will come and saves us.
