Jun 11, 2013 · Deep Soul-Rest in God’s Wisdom and Goodness. What this means for our emotions is that deep confidence in God’s sovereign wisdom and goodness is profoundly transforming to our emotional reaction to horrible things.

Apr 16, 2020 · His response to them was, “Do not judge by appearances, but judge with right judgment” (John 7:24).
