Whoso stoppeth his ears at the cry of the poor, He also shall cry, but shall not be heard. A gift in secret pacifieth anger; And a present in the bosom, strong wrath. It is joy to the righteous to do justice; But it is a destruction to the workers of iniquity. The man that wandereth out of the way of understanding Shall rest in the assembly of the dead. He that loveth pleasure shall be a poor man: He that loveth wine and oil shall not be rich. The wicked is a ransom for the righteous; And the treacherous cometh in the stead of the upright.

In every life, there are forces beyond our control that overwhelm us, so we need spiritual grounding more than ever. I’ve found unexpected answers in faithful Christians from across centuries and cultures who’ve encountered God’s presence. They are saints of amazement who hold out fragments of the Life that is life. Their stories, disciplines, and spiritual practices invite you to taste and see that the Lord is good.
