A man who is intimate with God is not intimidated by man. ~Leonard Ravenhill~
Hymn writer Catharina von Schlegel wrote, “Be still, my soul, your God will undertake to guide the future as He has the past.” As she wrote, “Your hope, your confidence let nothing shake.”
What is your "stumbling block"? What is the one thing you read in Scripture or hear preached that makes you want to put your fingers in your ears and say, "nah, nah, nah, nah, nah"? Maybe it's time to really look long and hard at what Jesus is trying to teach you.
God has provided light for His people to walk in so they will not trip and fall into the darkness that surrounds them. The Lord has shown in His word the ways that avoid foolishness and sin.
There is no better book on human psychology than the Bible. Its insights on behavior aren’t found so profoundly anywhere else.
He who communes with God in secret may be trusted in public. I always feel safe with a man who is a visitor to the mercy seat. ~Charles H. Spurgeon~
There is more healing joy in five minutes of worship than there is in five nights of revelry.
~A. W. Tozer~
We have the power of choice. Let’s just stop doing business with those who promote sin and stand against Almighty God’s laws and His standards. Maybe if enough of us do this, it will get their attention.
No one is beyond God's reach. You may feel light years away from Him, but He still loves you. In fact, God loves you so much that He will do everything He can to bring you back to Him.
No matter what you're going through today, remember, "The Lord." When you feel at your worst, He is at His best. When you feel distant from Him, He is closer than your skin. He's there to rescue you. He's there to bring you back. He's given you His Word, the Bible.
We have to be open to the people God sends in our path. If we are truly walking with the Lord, we will recognize godly wisdom. We will be willing to change our minds or admit when we are wrong because we are led by the Lord, not our own wisdom or pride.
Wisdom opens the eyes both to the glories of heaven and to the hollowness of earth.
