Quotes from Beth Moore

One of the most mysterious aspects about God communicated in Scripture is that His knowledge about what would transpire didn't necessarily preclude His heightened hopes of something different. He didn't always spare Himself the shock of something appalling, even though He saw it coming. Even a predestined conclusion didn't spare God the emotion of the result. Perhaps most significantly, knowing why didn't keep God from asking why (Isaiah 5:4 and Mark 15:34).

We finally learn that under God's umbrella, we are free to sing in the rain. Outside God's umbrella, we nearly drown in the flood.

I am the resurrection and the life. The one who believes in Me, even if he dies, will live. John 11:25

Sometimes we yearn for God to crack open a receptive door to share our faith. We scramble to grab an opportunity that never seems to come. Other times God swings open a door so quickly we're too stunned to walk through it!

Do not gloat over me, my enemy! Though I have fallen, I will rise. Though I sit in darkness, the LORD will be my light. Because I have sinned against him, I will bear the LORD's wrath, until he pleads my case and establishes my right. He will bring me out into the light; I will see his righteousness. (Mic. 7:8—9)

He reached down from on high and took hold of me; he drew me out of deep waters. He rescued me from my powerful enemy, from my foes, who were too strong for me. (2 Sam. 22:17—18)

Enter and possess the good land the Lord your God swore to give your fathers. Deuteronomy 6:18

Am I now trying to win the approval of men, or of God? Or am I trying to please men? If I were still trying to please men, I would not be a servant of Christ. (Gal. 1:10)

Faithfulness in our Christian walk requires order, some black-and-white fundamentals, but within that order is glorious room for color and creativity.

Jesus is not a superhuman. He is God. The beloved, divine Son of Him who occupies the throne of all creation.

I continually remember them and have become depressed. Yet I call this to mind, and therefore I have hope. Lamentations 3:20—21

Like water spilled on the ground, which cannot be recovered, so we must die. But God does not take away life; instead, he devises ways so that a banished person may not remain estranged from him. (2 Sam. 14:14)
