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[The race is not to the swift, nor the battle to the strong. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48630]]></link><description><![CDATA[The race is not to the swift, nor the battle to the strong.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48630</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[War paralyzes your courage and deadens the spirit of true manhood. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/65650]]></link><description><![CDATA[War paralyzes your courage and deadens the spirit of true manhood.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/65650</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Some hoisted out the boats, and there was one That begged Pedrillo for an absolution  Who told him to ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56187]]></link><description><![CDATA[Some hoisted out the boats, and there was one That begged Pedrillo for an absolution  Who told him to be damn'd,--in his confusion.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56187</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[What can be found equal to modesty, uncorrupt faith, the sister of justice, and undisguised truth? [Lat., Cui pudor et ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/42909]]></link><description><![CDATA[What can be found equal to modesty, uncorrupt faith, the sister of justice, and undisguised truth? [Lat., Cui pudor et justitiae soror incorrupta fides nudaque veritas quando ullum inveniet parem?]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/42909</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We have 60 hills of rhubarb now.

For actual behaviour infallibly betrays the real object of the man's worship. All Christians, whatever their Church, would of course instantly repudiate the idea that their god was a super-example of their own denomination, and it is not suggested that the worship is conscious. Nevertheless, beneath the conscious critical level of the mind it is perfectly possible for the Anglo-Catholic, for example, to conceive God as particularly pleased with Anglo-Catholicism, doubtful about Evangelicalism, and frankly displeased by all forms of Nonconformity... The ultra-low Churchman on the other hand must admit, if he is honest, that the God whom he worships disapproves most strongly of vestments, incense, and candles on the altar. The tragedy of these examples -- which could be reproduced ad nauseam any day of the week -- is not difference of opinion, which will probably be with us till the Day of Judgment, but the outrageous folly and damnable sin of trying to regard God as the Party Leader of a particular point of view.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7964</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comedy deflates the sense precisely so that the underlying lubricity and malice may bubble to the surface. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26224]]></link><description><![CDATA[Comedy deflates the sense precisely so that the underlying lubricity and malice may bubble to the surface.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26224</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[No heroine can create a hero through love of one, but she can give birth to one. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19272]]></link><description><![CDATA[No heroine can create a hero through love of one, but she can give birth to one.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19272</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Given that our first quarter is usually negatively affected by a number of seasonal factors, I am encouraged that these ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/38505]]></link><description><![CDATA[Given that our first quarter is usually negatively affected by a number of seasonal factors, I am encouraged that these positive results reflect a very good start to 2006.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/38505</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Immature poets imitate; mature poets steal. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/66390]]></link><description><![CDATA[Immature poets imitate; mature poets steal.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/66390</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In a mad world, only the mad are sane. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52191]]></link><description><![CDATA[In a mad world, only the mad are sane.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52191</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Those who expect to reap the blessings of freedom, must, like men, undergo the fatigues of supporting it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16707]]></link><description><![CDATA[Those who expect to reap the blessings of freedom, must, like men, undergo the fatigues of supporting it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16707</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Far clouds of feathery gold, Shaded with deepest purple, gleam  Like islands on a dark blue sea. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8922]]></link><description><![CDATA[Far clouds of feathery gold, Shaded with deepest purple, gleam  Like islands on a dark blue sea.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8922</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Every father should remember that one day his son will follow his example instead of his advice ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15409]]></link><description><![CDATA[Every father should remember that one day his son will follow his example instead of his advice]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15409</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Call things by their right names - Glass of brandy and water!
