“Since your most serene majesty and your highnesses require of me a simple, clear, and direct answer, I will give one, and it is this: I cannot submit my faith either to the pope or to the council, because it is clear that they have fallen into error and even into inconsistency with themselves. If, then, I am not convinced by proof from Holy Scripture, or by cogent reasons, if I am not satisfied by the very text I have cited, and if my judgment is not in this way brought into subjection to God's word, I neither can nor will retract anything; for it cannot be either safe or honest for a Christian to speak against his conscience. Here I stand. I cannot do otherwise. God help me. Amen.”
—Martin Luther at the Diet of Worms, April 18, 1521

Today's Points:
1: Difficulty provides an opportunity to trust God.
2: Trusting God seems irrational to the world.
3: Trusting God means believing that God will do what He KNOWS is best, not necessarily what we THINK is best.

“Faith is not believing in spite of the evidence; rather, it is obeying in spite of the consequences.”

“Faith means trusting God and His Word. Faith does not mean that we either know or understand what His specific purpose in our lives may be. It means a ready willingness to follow Him whatever His purpose.”
