My Personal Devotion
"What is man that Thou art mindful of him? and the son of man, that Thou visitest him? For Thou madest him a little lower than the angels, and hast crowned him with glory and honor... O LORD our Lord, how excellent is Thy name in all the earth!" (Psalm 8:4-5, 9).
The greatest, most dreadful horror is to know God's holiness and not weep over our depravity; yet, even greater still, is to not weep over my depravity, my own sinfulness in the light of His glory and grace. Thank you, Lord, that I may weep, and still serve You. Thank you, Lord, that my tears fill this earthen vessel that houses this soul You have redeemed for Thyself and Thine own good pleasure. Thank you, Lord, for the blessedness of brokenness.

Summer Book Review
Trusting God:Even When Life Hurts
Author: Jerry Bridges
Publisher: NAVPress
Copyright: 1988, 2008
Format: Paperback, 240 pgs.
ISBN: 1600063055
ISBN-13: 9781600063053
Anyone who has read the best-selling The Pursuit of Holiness will recognize the very familiar, plain-English style and sense of Jerry Bridges. In the 20th Anniversary paperback edition of Trusting God, Dr. Bridges takes the very deep and extremely important doctrine of God’s sovereignty and lays it out clearly, simply, and not only well within the grasp of the newest convert to Christ, but also presents it logically and thoughtfully so that the most mature theologian can appreciate this work and glean many great things from it.
In his Preface to the treatise, he writes, “The purpose of this book is twofold: First, I desire to glorify God by acknowledging His sovereignty and His goodness. Second, I desire to encourage God’s people by demonstrating from Scripture that God is in control of their lives, that He does indeed love them, and that He works out all the circumstances of their lives for their ultimate good” (pg. 9). In this, Jerry Bridges accomplishes his goals most triumphantly.
Trusting God is categorized as Christian Living or Spiritual Growth for the very good reason that its approach to the circumstances daily faced by the individual believer is both practical and personal. Yet, the truths that Dr. Bridges presents concerning the attributes of God, especially in His sovereign goodness, would make this book equally at home on the shelf in the Theology section.
Those whose theology tends toward an emphasis upon the free will of man will most certainly gain a better understanding of how Reformed thinkers generally view the blessedness of God’s sovereignty; and those of us whose theology stands firmly on the doctrines of grace will find a very compassionate presentation of this doctrine, which by God’s grace, may temper us away from a tendency to approach God’s sovereignty like the proverbial bull in a china shop, just because we see the urgent need to proclaim this truth in American pulpits today.
The doctrine of God’s sovereign grace is so neglected today that this book is a must-read for those who have never read it; and it is also a must-reread for those who have already read it too many years ago. Trusting God, and the sovereignty of God this book proclaims, is more culturally relevant today than it was twenty years ago during its first publication. Therefore, I highly commend the reading of Trusting God to anyone that has a desire to worship God more deeply and commune with Him more intimately.
