- Saturday is Rosh Hashanah. I always get nervous around the Jewish holidays.” ([Location 48](https://readwise.io/to_kindle?action=open&asin=B06XBP8BQ1&location=48))
- The hope of glory gleamed bright in his heart, but the heavy cloud of concern over the immediate future was dark and ominous. ([Location 64](https://readwise.io/to_kindle?action=open&asin=B06XBP8BQ1&location=64))
- Elijah softened his tone. “It is. But you have to learn to seek God. To hear from him. To know his will.” “And how do we do that?” Courtney asked. “You fast. You put aside food for a day or two, maybe three. You turn down the volume on your flesh and instead, you feed your spirit with God’s Word, with prayer, with worship. As your flesh grows weak, your spirit grows strong. Like a radio when you get it in tune, and the static starts to disappear, you hear more clearly. And that is what you need, to be in tune with God. To hear his voice clearly, without the static of the flesh.” ([Location 458](https://readwise.io/to_kindle?action=open&asin=B06XBP8BQ1&location=458))
- “When you try to be made right by the law, you are no longer putting your faith in the blood of Messiah. It is admirable to want to please God, but it is important to remember that no man is justified by the law in the sight of God. The just shall live by faith.” ([Location 542](https://readwise.io/to_kindle?action=open&asin=B06XBP8BQ1&location=542))
- horrible storm coming?” Elijah made himself a small plate of food and sat next to her. “The LORD is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer; my God, my strength, in whom I will trust; my buckler, and the horn of my salvation, and my high tower. Of whom or of what shall I be afraid?” ([Location 637](https://readwise.io/to_kindle?action=open&asin=B06XBP8BQ1&location=637))
- “You know, sometimes faith is being able to accept the tribulation of this world. If you expect God to be your genie in the bottle, you’ll be sorely disappointed.” ([Location 978](https://readwise.io/to_kindle?action=open&asin=B06XBP8BQ1&location=978))
- “The weak have one weapon, the error of those who think they are strong.” Kevin nodded. “Bidault?” “Yeah. A lot of the Agency’s core doctrine was developed by the OSS, the CIA’s predecessor, when they were working with the French Resistance.” ([Location 1447](https://readwise.io/to_kindle?action=open&asin=B06XBP8BQ1&location=1447))
- “Freedom is never free. ([Location 2123](https://readwise.io/to_kindle?action=open&asin=B06XBP8BQ1&location=2123))
- Elijah looked back down at the stick he was whittling. “Some scholars believe that Messiah was born on Sukkot. It falls during the time when Romans would typically collect taxes which is where Joseph and Mary were going when Yeshua was born. In an agrarian culture, governments want to get their cut of the goods as soon as the harvests are in. “Those who hold tight to this reasoning say that it was on the Feast of Tabernacles that God tabernacled with men.” ([Location 2400](https://readwise.io/to_kindle?action=open&asin=B06XBP8BQ1&location=2400))
- We’ve done our best, Kevin.” Everett looked up at his friend. “It’s time to trust God with the rest.” ([Location 3291](https://readwise.io/to_kindle?action=open&asin=B06XBP8BQ1&location=3291))
- “Worrying is negative faith.” ([Location 3293](https://readwise.io/to_kindle?action=open&asin=B06XBP8BQ1&location=3293))
- “Perfect faith is about being ready to accept God’s will for your life, no matter what. Even when you have no idea what the outcome may be, how awful the suffering, or how deep the grief. If you can accept that, as Job did, as John, James, Peter, and Paul; when you are willing to drink from his cup without protest or fear, then you have perfect faith.” ([Location 3298](https://readwise.io/to_kindle?action=open&asin=B06XBP8BQ1&location=3298))
