Prodigal: If that don’t beat all, I got stuck.

Me: Don’t worry, it looks managable.

This is from The Divine Conquest by A. W. Tozer

We cannot think rightly of God until we begin to think of Him as always being there, and there first. Joshua had this to learn. He had been so long the servant of God’s servant Moses, and had with such assurance received God’s word at his mouth, that Moses and the God of Moses had become blended in his thinking, so blended that he could hardly separate the two thoughts; by association they always appeared together in Joshua’s mind. Now Moses is dead, and lest the young Joshua be struck down with despair God spoke to him with assurance, “As I was with Moses, so I will be with you.” Moses was dead, but the God of Moses still lived. Nothing changed; nothing had been lost. Nothing of God dies when a man of God dies.

And the slain shall fall in the midst of you, and ye shall know that I am the LORD. Ezekiel 6:7 (KJV)
