“How many times have we had to reach the end of our own resources before we remembered to trust in God, the one steadfast resource of our lives? … When our faith causes difficulties, our first response is to fall back on our familiar resources-people, things, self—and only when these do not help can we truly lean only upon God for our needs.”
Joel C. Gregory, Growing Pains of the Soul (Nashville: Thomas Nelson, 1987) 108.
