God is responsible for the consequences of our obedience, WE are responsible for the consequences of our disobedience
Charles StanleyDealing with adversity is like preparing for surgery. By putting our faith in what the doctor has said, we believe we will be better off if we have the surgery. But that does not make it any less painful. By submitting to the hand of a surgeon, we are saying that our ultimate goal is health, even at the cost of pain. Adversity is the same way. It is a means to an end. It is God's tool for the advancement of our spiritual lives.
Charles StanleyTo become God's mighty servants, we must decide whether we will base our life on His priorities or the world's. The two are incompatible.
