Often times God wants us to sit before Him in quietness. He doesn't want us to do all the talking. As Is. 30:15 says "In quiet and confidence will be your strength."

If God has positioned us in a certain place, we must leave all the details to Him.

The dark moments of our life will last only so long as is necessary for God to accomplish His purpose in us.

God's voice is still and quiet and easily buried under an avalanche of clamour.

The Scriptures contain many stories of people who waited years or even decades before the Lord's promises came to pass. What modern believers can learn from the patience of biblical saints like Abraham, Joseph, David, and Paul is that waiting upon the Lord has eternal rewards.

The gate is small because truth guards the entrance. The way is narrow because the Lord protects us with wise boundaries.

You must never sacrifice your relationship with God for the sake of a relationship with another person.
