Discipline Quote by R. T. Kendall
““The hiding of God’s face is the essence of His discipline. Moreover, God never gives advanced warning when He will be hiding His face. If only He would say, “Next Tuesday about 3:20 P.M., you will notice that the light of My countenance will be withdrawn for a while.” If only. Then we could be ready and not be shaken. But part of our preparation is learning how to respond in impossible situations when God seems very far away. And yet the widow was understandably in””
