Owen: first obedience, then peace

Tuesday, February 9, 2010
Meditation:
    If you, O LORD, kept a record of sins,
        O Lord, who could stand?
    But with you there is forgiveness;
        therefore you are feared.
    —Psalm 130:3-4 (NIV)
Quotation:
    See in the meantime that your faith bringeth forth obedience, and God in due time will cause it to bring forth peace.
    ... John Owen (1616-1683), An Exposition upon Psalm CXXX [1668], in Works of John Owen, v. VI, New York: R. Carter & Bros., 1851, p. 563 (see the book)
Quiet time reflection:
    Keep my footsteps in the right path, Lord, that I may receive Your peace. CQOD    Blog    email    RSS
