When God wants to accomplish something, He calls dedicated men and women to challenge His people and lead the way.
Trusting God means thinking and acting according to God’s word in spite of circumstances, feelings, or consequences.
The devil tempts us to bring out the worst in us, but the Father tests us to bring out the best in us.
If the Lord calls you, He will equip you for the task He wants you to fulfill.
The mind grows by taking in, but the heart grows by giving out.
When we change the message of God, we change the God of the message.
If you are going to live by faith, then expect your faith to be tested. A faith that can’t be tested can’t be trusted.
If you take care of yourself and walk with integrity, you may be confident that God will deal with those who sin against you. Above all, don’t give birth to sin yourself, rather, pray for those who persecute you. God will one day turn your persecution into praise.
The Christian who walks with the Lord and keeps constant communion with Him will see many reason for rejoicing and thanksgiving all day long.
If life is to have meaning, and if God’s will is to be done, all of us have to accept who we are and what we are, give it back to God, and thank Him for the way He made us. What I am is God’s gift to me; what I do with it is my gift to Him.
If the only way I can make myself look good is to criticize you, something is seriously wrong with me.
Your heart grows by giving out, but your mind grows by taking in; and both are necessary to a happy and balanced life of service.
You do not move ahead by constantly looking in a rear view mirror. The past is a rudder to guide you, not an anchor to drag you. We must learn from the past but not live in the past.
People who walk by faith don’t see obstacles, they see opportunities.
The eyes see what the heart loves. If the heart loves God and is single in this devotion, then the eyes will see God whether others see Him or not.
Those times when you feel like quitting can be times of great opportunity, for God uses your troubles to help you grow.
God will open up places of service for you as He sees you are ready. Meanwhile, study the Bible and give yourself a chance to grow.
Remember, your worth is founded in Jesus Christ.
The way we respond to criticism pretty much depends on the way we respond to praise. If praise humbles us, then criticism will build us up. But if praise inflates us, then criticism will crush us; and both responses lead to our defeat.
A good book is like a seed: it produces fruit that has in it seed for more fruit. It is not a picture on the wall; it is a window that invies us to wider horizons.
