“O Lord, I have been irritable and cross, but I do want spiritual blessing.” You cannot have it, you will have to do without until you come into the attitude of a good child … I am a child of God only by regeneration, and as a child of God I am good only as I walk in the light.” -Oswald Chambers, My Utmost for His Highest, August 24.
Isaiah 26:4
4 Trust in the Lord forever,
because in the Lord, the Lord himself, is an everlasting rock!
Isaiah 26:10-11
10 But if the wicked man is shown favor,
he does not learn righteousness.
In a righteous land he acts unjustly
and does not see the majesty of the Lord.
11 Lord, your hand is lifted up to take action,
but they do not see it.
Let them see your zeal for your people
and be put to shame.
Let fire consume your adversaries.
