Abraham, Moses, and David were valiant believers, but compared to Jesus they were timid souls. Consider the human disappointments Jesus endured: rejected in his home town, harassed and persecuted by the religious leaders of his nation, misunderstood by his own family, betrayed with a kiss and abandoned by all his followers. Yet through it all Jesus never complained or rebelled against God; he trusted God even on the cross. Psalm 34 sets forth Jesus' pioneering discovery of God's faithfulness and delivering power. Thus Jesus was "delivered from all his fears" (v 4), "saved ... out of all his troubles" (v 6), "delivered out of all his afflictions" (v 19).  Certainly Jesus is our primary teacher and example in trusting God. If David could teach his followers to trust in God, how much more Jesus. As we see the steadfast faith of our Lord through weariness, disappointment, rejection, and even death on a cross, we cannot but be encouraged to believe that God can deliver us through our small trials. That is why we should run the race set before us looking unto Jesus.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6216</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To learn what is good, a thousand days are not sufficient; to learn what is evil, an hour is too ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63010]]></link><description><![CDATA[To learn what is good, a thousand days are not sufficient; to learn what is evil, an hour is too long.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63010</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There come nought out of the sacke but what was there. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49949]]></link><description><![CDATA[There come nought out of the sacke but what was there.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49949</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Fish, to taste right, must swim 3 times -- in water, in butter and in wine. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58639]]></link><description><![CDATA[Fish, to taste right, must swim 3 times -- in water, in butter and in wine.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58639</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We don't have any hard statistics yet on all the damage done by Hurricane Katrina.

It is here to be observed that the term "freedom" is ambiguous in common usage. It is sometimes used to imply that a man can do just as he likes, undetermined by any external force. To this the determinist replies that as a matter of fact this freedom is so limited by the laws which condition man's empirical existence as to be illusory. The rejoinder from the advocates of free will is that no external force can determine a man's moral conduct (and with mere automatism we are not concerned), unless it is presented in consciousness, and that in being so presented it becomes a desire, a temptation, or a motive. In suffering himself to be determined by these, the man is not submitting to external control, but to something which he has already made a part of himself, for good or ill. When, however, we have said that, we are faced with a further problem. Not all that is desired is desirable, and in being moved by my immediate desire I may be balking myself of that ultimate satisfaction which is the real object of all effort. If that is so, then to "do as I like" may well be no freedom at all. There is a law of our being which forbids satisfaction to be found along that line, as it is written, "He gave them their desire, and sent leanness into their souls." (Ps. 106:15) (Continued tomorrow).]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7479</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Sometimes I think [my husband] is so amazing that I don't know why he's with me.

The mystic soul may impatiently think so, but the moral soul finds such mediation the way to reality; and the mystic experience is not quite trustworthy about reality. The pagan gods had no mediators, because they were not real or good gods; but the living God has a living Revealer. To know the living God is to know Christ; to know Christ is to know the living God. We do not know God by Christ but in Him. We find God when we find Christ; and in Christ alone we know and share his final purpose. Our last knowledge is not the contact of our person with a thing or a thought; it is intercourse of person and person.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6619</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You would be, sweet madam, if your miseries were in the same abundance as your good fortunes are; and yet ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13268]]></link><description><![CDATA[You would be, sweet madam, if your miseries were in the same abundance as your good fortunes are; and yet for aught I see, they are as sick that surfeit with too much as they that starve with nothing.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13268</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA["Let there be no inscription upon my tomb.

Irving teaches me the lesson of cheerfulness, Hawthorne shows me the hatefulness of sin, Longfellow gives me the soft, tranquil music of hope. Lowell makes us feel that we must give ourselves to our fellow men. Whittier sings to me of divine Fatherhood and human brotherhood. These are Christian lessons: who inspired them? Who put it into the heart of Martin Luther to nail those theses on the church door of Wittenberg? Who stirred and fired the soul of Savonarola? Who thrilled and electrified the soul of John Wesley? Jesus Christ is back of these all.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6583</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There has never yet been a man in our history who led a life of ease whose name is worth ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13659]]></link><description><![CDATA[There has never yet been a man in our history who led a life of ease whose name is worth remembering.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13659</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The tongue is the worst part of a bad servant. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50508]]></link><description><![CDATA[The tongue is the worst part of a bad servant.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50508</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[O, good old man, how well in thee appears The constant service of the antique world, When service sweat for ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/55641]]></link><description><![CDATA[O, good old man, how well in thee appears The constant service of the antique world, When service sweat for duty, not for meed!
