Father, help us to rest our heads on the soft pillow of Your providence.

How immense God is, that He is able to sweep into His purposes even foolish requests and bad motivations.

We must be willing to say what the Bible says.

A Christian way of thinking is not just thinking Christian thoughts, singing Christian songs, reading Christian books, going to Christian schools; it is learning to think about the whole spectrum of life from the perspective of a mind that has been trained in truth.

It is not our believing of the Gospel that makes it true. It exists as independent, true Truth.

Many of us are tempted to find the key in doing, but the answer is actually found in being. It is vital that we are routinely humbled by the reminder that Christian life is grounded, not in what we can do, but what has been done for us and what we need done to us.

The only true conqueror who shall be crowned in the end is he who continues until war's trumpet is blown no more.... Christian, wear your shield close to your armor and cry earnestly to God, that by His Spirit you may endure to the end.
