025 - God’s Interruption of Our False Happiness

Sep 1, 2023  •  "The Gleanings", Jeremy Nelson, Philip Nelson

Today we are considering a "Quotation for Cogitation" - something that we have come across that made us think. This quote also comes from a collect of daily readings from C.S. Lewis. In this quote, Lewis addresses the way God often interrupts our false ideas of happiness so that He may give us a more lasting joy. In this episode we also consider a precious prophecy about the Lord Jesus and both biblical and modern day examples of those who have modeled this.
