Spiritual Dejection

"We were hoping that it was He who was
going to redeem Israel." (Luke 24:21)

'Spiritual lust causes me to demand an answer
from God, instead of seeking God Himself who 
gives the answer. Whenever we insist that God 
should give us an answer to our prayer, we are 
off track. The purpose is that we  get hold of 
God, not of the answer.'
Oswald Chambers

Reader, these pithy statements really go
to my heart.
