(God’s) knowledge of our afflictions and adversities is more than theoric; it is personal, warm, and compassionate. Whatever may befall us, God knows and cares as no one else can.” - A.W. Tozer
I do not think that Tozer meant for me what he made me think, but nevertheless, I believe it is quite interesting. It’s the word “personal” that I probably do not get right, only to find myself encouraged and defended by my Creator. The temptations of my flesh, of this world, of the spiritual world that bombard me day and night, all of these, God sees as my adversaries and because He is my Father and redeemed me at an unbelievable price, God takes all this adversities as His own. They are trying to touch the apple of His eye. God takes it personal.
It feels liberating. I’m not alone in the bull’s eye. God is standing in front of me. And who would dare shooting an arrow at Him?
