The Lutheran Word for Today:
"The chief part of Christian doctrine is to learn to trust in God, not to ignore Him and be proud of the possessions of wealth, friendship, and power... as if one had no need of our Lord God; and on the other hand, not to despair if one does not possess these three."  Martin Luther, in exposition on Deuteronomy 7: 9-10.
