We need discernment in what we see and what we hear and what we believe.
The wonderful thing about God is he knows what we need to persuade us.
Rejoicing is clearly a spiritual command. To ignore it, I need to remind you, is disobedience.
God never calls His people to accomplish anything without promising to supply their every need.
Every one of us can blame somebody for something that has happened in our lives. But don't waste your time. What we need most is a steady stream of love flowing among us. Love that quickly forgives, willingly overlooks, and refuses to take offense.
God will never adjust His agenda to fit ours. He will not speed up His pace to catch up with ours; we need to slow our pace in order to recover our walk with Him. God will not scream and shout over the noisy clamor; He expects us to seek quietness, where His still small voice can be heard again.
Faith does not change my circumstances; faith changes me. Faith may not bring in the tuition check when I need it, but faith will give me what it takes to hang on.
There are times we need to tell ourselves, "Good job!" when we know that is true.
