Sovereign LORD, your saving help is my shield.
The darkness might keep us from seeing the hope around us, but it does not have the power to remove the hope around us.
When I count my blessings, I find the best comfort in a blessed existence.
Faith is faithfulness.
It is your faith that will make you stand firm.
Whoever fear God, shall find favour.
For many, their dream is simply to survive until tomorrow. And in these situations, my prayer is not that God would alter their circumstances nor change their heart. Rather, it is that they would invite God into both.
Bear the ills of life without being bitter.
Suffering is the first step towards sanctification.
Repentance leads to times of refreshing.
Religion without righteousness of Faith is vain hope.
Hope sees what we can’t. And because we can’t, hope asks us to believe that it can.
God’s faith in me always dwarfs my faith in Him.
As I stand cloaked in some seemingly perpetual darkness desperately hoping for a scant ray of light, I ask, “Why has the sun never risen?” And I realize that it rose a long, long time ago. I just refused to open my eyes sufficiently to see it.
Could it that the impossible is compelling because we have just enough God within us to know the impossible to be achievable, and just enough of ourselves within us to know that we have to rely on Him to do it?
Should all the hoards of mankind assemble as one and bring the full force of their numbers against us, we must remember that one man standing alone with God remains an immovable majority.
I don’t define darkness as the absence of light. Rather, I define it as the absence of God. And in that sense, it’s never dark.
Explore the eternity of your existence.
Faith is embracing the invisible simply because the invisible is the precursor to everything that is visible. Therefore, to lack faith is to lack everything.
Pessimism is not part of my nature. Rather, it’s part of what happens to me when I reject God’s nature.
