godly fog light
God's word is tailor-made for gray-slush days. It sends a beam of light through the fog. It signals safety when we fear we'll never make it through.
blessing giving decision
The decision to give ourselves to others is a daily taking up of the cross.
blessing compassion people
If God's people are to be living examples of one thing, that thing ought to be - it must be - compassion.
grace wounded dose
Only grace-large doses, frequently displayed, released-will restore the wounded.
spiritual determination growing-up
There is an enormous difference between growing old in the Lord and growing up in Him. One is automatic and requires no effort at all ... just aging. But the other is never automatic, or easy. It calls for personal discipline, continual determination, and spiritual desire. Churches are full of sleepy saints who are merely 'logging time' in God's family.
glory timetables plans
God doesn't work on our timetable. He has a plan that He will execute perfectly and for the highest, greatest good of all, and for His ultimate glory.
integrity sacrifice discipline
Thanksgiving speaks in clear, crisp tones of forgotten terms, like integrity - bravery - respect - freedom - discipline - sacrifice - godliness.
taught prejudice born
Prejudice is a learned trait. You're not born prejudiced; you're taught it.
wisdom differences making-a-difference
Please, put aside all excuses and ask yourself, "What should I be doing?" Yes, you alone can make a difference. The question is, will you?
beautiful confused broken
God is a specialist at making something useful and beautiful out of something broken and confused.
spiritual exercise thinking
We must cease striving and trust God to provide what He thinks is best and in whatever time He chooses to make it available. But this kind of trusting doesn't come naturally. It's a spiritual crisis of the will in which we must choose to exercise faith.
life attitude impact
Words can never adequately convey the incredible impact of our attitudes toward life. The longer I live the more convinced I become that life is 10 percent what happens to us and 90 percent how we respond to it.
helping remember help-me
It helps me if I remember that God is in charge of my day - not I.
perseverance control-of-your-life effectiveness
Because the Holy Spirit is God, we feel Him as He controls our circumstances and transforms our lives. When He does that, He uses us. He melts us in relationships. He molds us in the pursuit and the direction of His will. He fills us with power and the perseverance to keep at it. He uses as He controls our circumstances and transforms our lives. Ask the Spirit of God to use you, just as you are, with the gifts and abilities that He's given you. Secure in the confidence that God is in control of your life, you will be free to serve Him with joy and effectiveness.
