Laws and principles are not for the times when there is no temptation. They are for such moments as this when body and soul rise in mutiny against their rigor.

If at my individual convenience I might break them, what would be their worth?

Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte. Today I'm sharing about the blessedness of good theology to guide us through high-intensity

emotions and how God's grace and God's word helps us prove faithful.

Welcome to the She Proves Faithful Podcast, episode number 248.

Truth and Encouragement to live gospel-centered lives every day.

I'm your host, Lauren Lushak.

Hi, everyone.

Welcome to the podcast.

My name is Lauren, and I'm so glad that you're here. I just opened with a quote from a book called Jane Eyre.

It was written in the 1800s, I think before little women, maybe by 20 years.

I don't remember the exact dates by a woman named Charlotte Bronte.

And it was recommended to me by some friends, and it did not disappoint.

I loved it.

I mean, you all have probably read it and been like, Lauren, that was so 20 years ago.

That was so 1800s ago. But I just read it and I loved, I loved it. So if you haven't read it yet,

hopefully this will excite you to read it or if you have, you'll remember it fondly. But there might be a little bit of a spoiler,

but not much. I tried to keep it succinct and not ruin it. But it was just, you know,

when you're reading and you're like, this is the illustration for something. This speaks to my

life. And so we're going to get some of that today. If you've been listening
