'When you get to what most matters, to life-and-death issues, what more can he say than to you he has said? Betrayed by someone you trusted? Aggressive, incurable cancer? Your most persistent sin? A disfiguring disability? The meaning and purpose of you life? Good and evil? Love and hate? Truth and lie? Hope is the fear of death? Mercy in the face of sin? Justice in the face of unfairness? The character of God? The dynamics of the heart? What more can he say than to you he has said? Listen well. There is nothing more he needed to say.'
David Powlison, 'God's Grace and Your Sufferings' in Piper & Taylor, Suffering and the Sovereignty of God, p.151.
