The remarkable thing about God is that when you fear God, you fear nothing else, whereas if you do not fear God, you fear everything else.
If God has made your cup sweet, drink it with grace; if He has made it bitter, drink it in communion with Him.
We are not responsible for the circumstances we are in, but we are responsible for the way we allow those circumstances to affect us; we can either allow them to get on top of us or we can allow them to transform us into what God wants us to be.
Don't forget to pray today because God did not forget to wake you up this morning.
God's purpose is not to perfect me to make me a trophy in His showcase; He is getting me to the place where He can use me. Let Him do what He wants.
Spiritual maturity is not reached by the passing of the years, but by obedience to the will of God.
If you are going to be used by God, He will take you through a number of experiences that are not meant for you personally at all. They are designed to make you useful in His hands, and to enable you to understand what takes place in the lives of others.
We tend to use prayer as a last resort, but God wants it to be our first line of defense. We pray when there's nothing else we can do, but God wants us to pray before we do anything at all. Most of us would prefer, however, to spend our time doing something that will get immediate results. We don't want to wait for God to resolve matters in His good time because His idea of 'good time' is seldom in sync with ours.
The great thing about faith in God is that it keeps a man undisturbed in the midst of disturbance.
God is not concerned about our plans; He doesn’t ask, “Do you want to go through this loss of a loved one, this difficulty, or this defeat?” No, He allows these things for His own purpose. The things we are going through are either making us sweeter, better, and nobler men and women, or they are making us more critical and fault-finding, and more insistent on our own way. The things that happen either make us evil, or they make us more saintly, depending entirely on our relationship with God and its level of intimacy.
It is impossible to get exhausted in work for God. We get exhausted because we try to do God's work in our own way.
We pray when there's nothing else we can do; Jesus wants us to pray before we do anything at all.
The greatest test of a man's character is his tongue.
There is actually only one thing you can dedicate to God, and that is your right to yourself. If you will give God your right to yourself, He will make a holy experiment out of you - and His experiments always succeed.
Solitude with God repairs the damage done by the fret and noise and clamour of the world.
The truth is we have nothing to fear and nothing to overcome because He is all in all and we are more than conquerors through Him.
The moment we recognize our complete weakness and our dependence upon Him will be the very moment that the Spirit of God will exhibit His power.
All our fret and worry is caused by calculating without God.
We have to pray with our eyes on God, not on the difficulties.
Measure your growth in grace by your sensitiveness to sin.
We have the idea that God is going to do some exceptional thing- that He is preparing and equipping us for some extraordinary work in the future. But as we grow in His grace we find that God is glorifying Himself here and now, at this very moment. If we have God’s assurance behind us, the most amazing strength becomes ours, and we learn to sing, glorifying Him even in the ordinary days and ways of life.
We look upon prayer simply as a means of getting things for ourselves, but the biblical purpose of prayer is that we may get to know God Himself.
Be rightly related to God, find your joy there, and out of you will flow rivers of living water.
Faith is deliberate confidence in the character of God whose ways you cannot understand at the time.
Never believe that the so-called random events of life are anything less than God’s appointed order. Be ready to discover His divine designs anywhere and everywhere.
