Peace is one of the most obvious earmarks of the authority of Christ. A sense of peace will virtually always accompany His will and direction, even when the direction might not have been our personal preference.

God is not harsh; He is holy. He is not selfish; He is sovereign. He is not unfeeling; He is all-knowing. Like David, we need to come to know Him, and respect Him; and, like David, we will love Him more.

...if I die suddenly, my gravestone might appropriately offer this insight into my departure: "God got tired." I require lots of work.

Anything God does, the enemy tries to counterfeit. We have to be on guard against the enemy!

I assure you that some of the most awesome things God has ever done for me have come out of the most awful things I’d done to myself.

The Son of Man has authority over whatever has you paralyzed. Get up and walk.
