Again, we do not have to live in fear of this warfare, because we are in Christ and He rules. Fear is faithlessness. ~George Macdonald~
When you step into who-what God has called you to be-do, all of heaven will back you up.
The hero of heaven is God. Angels don’t worship mansions or glittering avenues. God is not the grand marshal of the parade; he is the parade! He’s not the main event; he’s the only event! His Broadway features a single stage and star: Himself. He hosts the only production and invites every living soul to attend.
Faith in God does not come all at once. Faith is a step-by-step process that begins with one small step and increases as we go.
Jesus (who always pleased the Father) now lives in us. This same Jesus is our "hope of glory." He is our hope (expectation, confidence) of making it to glory (heaven) someday. He is also our hope of walking in any heavenly reality here on the way to glory. He is our hope of an obedient life.
Obedience is essentially related to the life of Jesus. The life Jesus lived on earth is our example of obedience.
God never told Job why. Instead, He just revealed more of himself to Job. More than an explanation, what we really need is an encounter with God—a revelation of God. Because when we see God for who He is, we see our problems for what they are. Small God, big problems. Big God, small problems.
“Whatever is esteemed or loved, feared or served, delighted in or depended on, more than God, that (whatever it is) we do in effect make a god of.” ~ Matthew Henry
Sin is the truth of God not sought. ― John Piper

There is no way to defeat Satan’s temptations but by a sound belief in God’s all-sufficiency and then nothingness of man. Thomas Manton There is as much difference between *gifts* and *graces*, as between a *tulip* painted on the wall, and one growing in the *garden!* Set before your child life and death, hell and heaven, judgment and mercy, his own sin, and Christ’s most precious blood. Charles Spurgeon
"Believers are children maintained at their Father's expense." -Horatius Bonar.
In the beginning #God, the uncaused Cause of matter, mind, and law. There we must begin.
A.W. Tozer - If you embrace all creation with goodwill but do not embrace #Christ, you are infinitely narrow -Jonathan Edwards -
"We won't have all the answers to all our questions about prayer, at least not for now. And that's okay because we can be confident that God ordains means such as prayer for His eternal purposes." —Alistair Begg
Preaching has no power unless God the Holy Spirit takes His Word and penetrates hearts with it. —RC Sproul
