God: "I looked for someone to take a stand for me, and stand in the gap" (Ezekiel 22:30)

The way to eliminate shame associated with sin is to admit sin, be confident that God forgives sin, and engage in battle against it.
Edward Welch

The evil Satan causes is only by the permission of God… It would be unbiblical and irrelevant to attribute to Satan (or sinful man) the power to frustrate the designs of God.
John Piper
