    To See His Glory is to See His Goodness  — a word by Pastor Steele Croswhite from The Rock Church in Draper, UT. "to see His goodness. To see a God who bends toward sinners with mercy. One who always moves toward the broken with grace."

    Recently, I have been reading a tremendous book called “Gentle and Lowly” by Dane Ortlund. I would highly recommend it to anyone who longs to know the gentle and wonderful heart of God. As I read, a particular section from a familiar passage in Exodus moved me deeply.

    The first is found in the Old Testament book of Habakkuk. The prophet Habakkuk sees confusion and suffering. Specifically, the problem of evil in the world around him. He grapples with why wicked people prosper while the righteous suffer. “Been there, done that” in my own walk of faith. So I appreciate how honest Habakkuk is with God.
