I mean, how do we rationalize these things over god? How thick am I to not see this? Why do I prefer things and perceptions of success over Him? So penetrating is this message.

Glory! For loss of this teaching i sought salvation as a Catholic monk and in eastern orthodox asceticism. But how can any fasts or vows cleanse our sick souls. Only Jesus is enough and no mere law keeping.

Matthew 27:15-23(The Crowd choose Barabbas)
"15 Now at the feast of the governor was accustomed to release for the crowd any one prisoner whom they wanted.
16 And they had then a notorious prisoner called Barabbas.
17 So when they had gather, Pilate said to them, " Whom do you want me to release for you: Barabbas or Jesus who is called Christ? "
18 For he knew that it was out of envy they delivered him up.
19 Besides, while he was sitting on the judgment seat, his wife
sent word to him( Pilate),
" Have nothing to do with that righteousnes man, for I have suffered much because of him today in a dream."
20 Now the chief priests and elders persuaded the crowd to ask for Barabbas and destroy Jesus.
21 The governor again said to them,
"Which of the two do you want me to release for you? " And they said, " Barabbas."
22 Pilate said to them,
" Then what I shall I do with Jesus who is called Christ?"
They all said,
"Let him be crucified!"
23 And he said, " Why, what evil has he has done?" But they shouted all the more, " Let him be crucified!"( Matthew 27:15-23 ESV Study Bible)

I am beholden to his glory but I still crave some things I feel are needed. How to discern?

Can everyone remember, please? Sure things are getting rough lately. Can we all take a deep breath and exult in the fact that Trump is not our president? Dr John Piper, oh-so-wise, has assured us that getting rid of Trump was more crucial than freedom and life itself.
