God’s Ultimate Motivation
I really enjoyed meditating on God’s ultimate motivation this morning from Justin Taylor’s blog. For my name’s sake I defer my anger, for the sake of my praise I restrain it for you, that I may not cut you off. Behold, I have refined you, but not as silver; I have tried you in the furnace of affliction. For my own sake, for my own sake, I do it, for how should my name be profaned? My glory I will not give to another. —Isaiah 48:9-11 see also www.disciplemaking.net
