Aiden Wilson Tozer quotes about
effort done lord
In an effort to get the work of the Lord done we often lose contact with the Lord of work.
wise religious effort
If we would find God amid all the religious externals we must first determine to find Him, and then proceed in the way of simplicity. Now as always God discovers Himself to "babes" and hides Himself in thick darkness from the wise and the prudent. We must simplify our approach to Him. We must strip down to essentials (and they will be found to be blessedly few). We must put away all effort to impress, and come with the guileless candor of childhood. If we do this, without doubt God will quickly respond.
heart effort trying
It is astonishing, how many difficulties clear up without any effort when the inner life gets straightened out. If half the time we spend trying to fix up outward things were spent in getting our hearts right, we would be delighted with the result. Strange as it may seem, harmony within our hearts depends mostly upon our getting into harmony with God.
men effort leaving
No man should desire to be happy who is not at the same time holy. He should spend his efforts in seeking to know and do the will of God, leaving to Christ the matter of how happy he should be.
christian religious exercise
I say that a Christian congregation can survive and often appear to prosper in the community by the exercise of human talent and without any touch from the Holy Spirit! All that religious activity and the dear people will not know anything better until the great and terrible day when our self-employed talents are burned with fire and only that which was wrought by the Holy Ghost will stand forever!
spiritual soul enemy
Complacency is the deadly enemy of spiritual progress. The contented soul is the stagnant soul.
expectations sacred looks
With a sacred expectation, I look for God in ALL of the circumstances of my day.
father eye world
O God and Father, I repent of my sinful preoccupation with visible things. The world has been too much with me. Thou hast been here and I knew it not. I have been blind to Thy Presence. Open my eyes that I may behold Thee in and around me. For Christ's sake, Amen.
sick
Where God is not glorified, that place is sick
religious knowing people
It's hard to rest knowing that millions of people merely carry on religious traditions but don't actually reach God.
preparation rehearsal worship
The best preparation for worship is not a rehearsal, but surrender.
monday way worship-god
If you're not worshiping God on Monday the way you [did] the day before, perhaps you're not worshiping Him at all.
faith heart journey
Faith is not merely a journey for the feet, but it is also a journey for the heart.
humility simplicity worship
It takes simplicity and humility to worship God acceptably.
