God presents the Sabbath rest as a shelter we can enter. (Hebrews 4:1-11)

While God is not the author of evil and He never prompts or condones sin, nothing occurs without His sovereign oversight. Others may choose to do evil deeds and God's people may suffer in the short term, but He will transform the evil intentions of evil people into opportunities for the enrichment of those in His care.

It helps me if I remember that God is in charge of my day - not I.

As far back as I can remember, my mother would have me down by the bed at night with her, praying. I can still hear her voice calling my name to God and telling him that she wanted me to follow him in whatever he called me to do.

God never calls His people to accomplish anything without promising to supply their every need.

I have tried and I cannot find, either in scripture or in history, a strong-willed individual whom God used greatly until He allowed them to be hurt deeply.

Those who feed on rumors are small, suspicious souls.
