Goals not bathed in prayer or brought in humility before the Lord turn out to be downright useless. They don't go anywhere. They don't accomplish anything.
Jesus has prepared the way and has made following our destiny possible, whereas we are helpless by ourselves. We can find and fulfill our purpose by responding to the clear, simple call of Jesus Chris...
The world has changed and it's going to keep changing, but God never changes; so we are safe when we cling to Him.
Give us an intense distaste for things that displease You and a renewed pleasure in things that bring You honor and magnify Your truth.
In order to cease our striving, we must transfer our trust away from our own abilities, our own accomplishments, our own strength, and place it on His provision.
Good intentions and earnest effort are not enough. Only Jesus can make an otherwise futile life productive.
When we panic, we instinctively turn to our own internal resources because we doubt Him.
While God, for the most part, allows this cosmos [creation] to work according to the laws of nature, there is never a time when He is not actively involved in every detail of life.
Israel's first king, Saul, looked like he was born for the role. He was tall, handsome, intelligent, and sensitive to God's leading. But he eventually lost most of his attractive qualities, the most i...
